Chapter 36: My name is Ziqing
Gu Xinyu hurriedly dodged, in his memory, such a etiquette should be out of the proud family, how can the village woman in front of him make it?
suppressed her doubts, motioned to Sister-in-law Du to help her up, and then asked, "I don't seem to be from Rongcheng, how did you marry here?" ”
Without waiting for Ziqing to reply, the cheerful sister-in-law Du returned: "Little boy, I know this, Ziqing was sold here by traffickers, it was two years ago, at that time, the little appearance was smart, Du Gou's mother spent a tael of silver to buy it, but that old thing is vicious, Du Gou is too lazy to eat, and he grinds a girl like this." ”
Gu Xinyu was startled, suddenly remembered his former self, and couldn't help but empathize, so he looked at Ziqing and asked softly, "Do you remember where you live?" Who else is in the family? ”
I saw Ziqing's tears on the other side burst out of her eyes in an instant, and a few women cooking next to her looked curiously over here.
Gu Xinyu looked around, not the place to speak, so he motioned to Sister-in-law Du to lead people to the farmyard, and he took the lead in walking forward, walking to the door, wanting to go in, but worried about Mama Wang's chatter, so he walked straight to the tree, made a chair, motioned to Ziqing to sit down, and told Sister-in-law Du to go to the stove room to take care. After Sister-in-law Du left, she asked the woman opposite: "There is no one else here now, you can say it, don't worry, as long as I can help you, I will spare no effort!" ”
Ziqing was deeply blessed: "Thank you, girl!" ”
Gu Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and Ziqing said softly: "I followed behind just now, looking at the girl's back and walking posture, as well as the fragrant fragrance I smelled just now, I guessed that the son was a daughter." ”
Well, these two are pretty powerful!
Ziqing wiped away the tears on her face and slowly told Gu Xinyu about her experience.
It turned out that Ziqing came from the He family in Kyoto, a generation of imperial merchants, mainly engaged in spices and silk, his father He Lin, married his wife in Kyoto Yulin Houfu Zhang's daughter, it is also considered a high door and low marriage, Ziqing is the eldest daughter, there are two younger sisters and a younger brother below, when Ziqing was five years old, he made a family affair, and the other party was the son of his mother's handkerchief.
His mother died when his younger brother was two years old, and his father married Yu the following year.
Grandmother was worried that several siblings were abused, so she suggested that they be taken to her side to raise her, but unexpectedly, for the sake of her reputation, Yu begged the old lady to hand over the children to herself, and the grandmother took into account her age, so she agreed, at first it was okay, Yu took good care of her siblings and siblings, so that her grandmother and father were very satisfied.
I didn't expect my grandmother to die three years ago, everything changed, at that time my father was sent to the west by the family to do things, Yu Shi actually fed himself medicine, and when he woke up, he became the daughter-in-law of Du Gou, who was grief-stricken at the time, and sought death several times, because the Du family looked strictly, they were all rescued, and then they were beaten violently, and the hellish life made Ziqing miserable, but I think of my younger brothers and sisters in Kyoto, I don't know what the situation is in the hands of the poisonous woman, I can't die like this, only alive can there be hope!
So she gave up the idea of running away and seeking death, because she was familiar with spices and herbs since she was a child, she took a medicine that could not give birth, and she lived with great difficulty until now, until the Du family had relaxed her care
Speaking of this, Ziqing couldn't cry anymore, she was already desperate, but God asked her to come to the farm of the Guogong Mansion to help, and she met a kind and upright girl, which made her see hope again!
Gu Xinyu's tears also fell, thinking in his heart how to help her, in fact, it was simple, the Guogong Mansion covered the sky in Rongcheng, and it was only a few taels of silver that could solve it.
appeased Ziqing well, let Ziqing go to cook first, and wait for him and Uncle Wang to go to Dugou's remaining house tomorrow to redeem Ziqing's deed of sale, and then arrange the future
After Ziqing thanked her again, she left, her steps became lighter, yes, she was only sixteen years old, so she was so tormented Gu Xinyu let out a long sigh
The next day, Gu Xinyu and Uncle Wang came to Dujia Village, and the old man Du led the way in front, accompanied by the old patriarch of Dujia Village.
Several people came to a dilapidated farmhouse, and there was a faint curse in the house: "You slacker, your daughter-in-law is about to be abducted, you are still sleeping here, the old lady has worked hard to save a tael of silver, and she married such a slut"
Old Man Du couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed open the door, only to see an old woman in the courtyard cursing in front of the window, and an old man squatting under the wall, also sloppy and sloppy and smoking.
Uncle Wang directly explained his intentions, saying that the main family wanted to buy Ziqing as a cook, but the old woman slyly disagreed, and the patriarch chopped his cane: "Boss Du, if you are a gentleman, you will stand up, when will the women of our Dujia Village be in charge?" ”
Boss Du stood up, but he didn't make a sound, and Gu Xinyu stepped forward: "Do you know whose woman you bought?" ”
The old woman shook her head: "I don't know"
Gu Xinyu smiled coldly: "If your whole family wants to save their lives, immediately take out the deed of sale, I will pay ten taels of silver, which is enough for your son to marry a daughter-in-law, but I warn you, you have to dare to bargain, don't blame me for being polite." ”
When the old woman heard ten taels of silver, she nodded happily immediately, and quickly went to the house to take out Ziqing's deed of sale, Uncle Wang took out another contract, and asked the three people of the Du family to press the handprint, before leaving, Gu Xinyu looked at the dilapidated home, and said to the old woman: "I advise you to accumulate some virtue, be careful of retribution!" ”
I didn't expect a word into a prophecy, this Du dog spent three taels of silver to marry back a fierce woman, a little unsmooth, he made a big noise, a few rounds later, the old woman was defeated, and since then she has honestly begged for a life in the hands of her daughter-in-law, which is not to mention later.
said that after He Ziqing got the deed of sale, he cried a lot, crying about the hardships of the past two years, and crying about his brothers and sisters who were far away in Kyoto
Since then, He Ziqing has lived in peace in the farm, and with Chunmei, her face has gradually improved, and she has the vitality of a young woman, patiently waiting for news from Kyoto
Rongcheng City Guogong Mansion, the grandfather of the country since the eldest prince and the eldest child had an accident, the first time to sleep well, the eldest prince has been life and death unknown, although the emperor did not blame, but the sacred heart is unpredictable, not to keep the same one day to turn his face, then it was full of disasters.
Don't worry about it now, God has eyes, the eldest prince has been rescued by Gu Xinyu, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, and now his health is gradually improving, and he is staying in the farm safely.
At the same time, let yourself contact your father secretly, but don't disclose the news to the outside world, so as not to have any more accidents.
The old man went to the martial arts arena and played a circle of sledgehammers, and after washing, he ate five big buns. After the meal, I ate the watermelon sent by Gu Xinyu, it was so sweet, this eldest grandson and daughter-in-law are a capable person!
I secretly pondered that I should send a few more people to the farm as guards, and at present, the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law does not know the identity of the eldest prince, so it is inevitable that there will be slackness.
When he was thinking about whether to send a few maids-in-law, the eldest grandson Zhou Muhan pushed open the door of the study, and Grandpa Guo smiled and beckoned him to come and sit: "Eldest grandson, come here, grandpa has good news for you!" ”
Zhou Muhan was stunned, how long had it been since his grandfather had been so affectionate to him.
"Grandfather, I was about to tell you something."
"Okay, then you talk first."
"Grandfather, according to the investigation report of the secret guard, the person working in the Gu family's greenhouse is likely to be the eldest prince!"
