Qiao Qiutong still remembers that the rebel general stabbed her mother in the chest with a sword, and when she saw her mother being stabbed, she pushed away the nurse who was pulling her like crazy, and desperately stopped in front of her mother.

The leader of the rebels was very disdainful of her at that time, and kicked her out with a kick, when she thought she was going to be thrown to death, she even heard her mother's terrible screams, and at the last moment, she was caught by a person, who was not very old, but his skills were superb, he flew up from his horse to catch her, and then landed steadily, and she was not hurt at all!

She didn't know who rescued her at the time, and then her brother Qiao Wenhao told her that that person was Bai Ruotian, the prince of Dingguo, who was rescued from the street by her brother at the last moment.

At that time, he was only fourteen years old, but he had already grown much taller than others, and when she was held in his arms for a moment, she suddenly felt so relieved when she saw that handsome and resolute face in horror, I don't know where the confidence came from, I knew that this person could save them and protect them!

Indeed, the prince of Dingguo really saved them, just when she was put in the arms of the nurse by him, and she was frightened and ignorant before she came to her senses, the rebel general who stabbed her mother had been neatly killed by the prince of the sword, and their family was saved!

After that, he sent someone to protect them, and then he flew away, she knew that he must have gone to quell the rebellion and save people!

The glimpse at that time made her remember it until now, but unfortunately they never met again after that.

Afterwards. My mother died, and although the sword did not hurt the fatal point, my mother finally developed a high fever under the fright and disappointment with my father, and the wound could not last for a long time, and it hurt the vitality of the body, and I went half a year later.

After all, the father did not "disappoint" their brothers and sisters, and a year after the death of his mother, he corrected the concubine Zhang who he had always loved, that is, her current stepmother Zhang.

Because of this incident, my brother was angry. Escape from the border. With the help of his grandfather, he entered the command of Dingguo Gong.

Over the years, good news has come frequently, and my brother has also made a lot of meritorious contributions, and now he is also a general from the fourth grade.

Thanks to my brother's hard work outside. Let his cowardly father take responsibility. They are all proud. has a relatively stable life at home, otherwise with her stepmother Zhang's childish and ruthless temperament, she is an eyesore original concubine. Maybe it's already been grinding.

Even now, because of the maintenance of her brother and her father's face, the Zhang family did not dare to criticize her openly, but secretly she also wore a lot of small shoes, and the housewife of a housekeeper wanted to learn from a girl who lived by the family, so there were 10,000 ways.

If it had been placed before, when her mother had not died, she was so stubborn and flamboyant as she was loved by her mother, I am afraid that she would have torn her face with the Zhang family and fought at home.

It's just that now that she has experienced life and death, she suddenly realized some true meanings that she never knew before, the so-called fame, fortune and wealth are just fleeting, and at the last moment, what is the use of these bodies, maybe it will become a burden!

And she is a woman who has not gone out, whether it is right or wrong, if she fights with her stepmother at home, it will be her fault if it spreads, and it will not be beneficial to her reputation.

So the Zhang family is just not too much, she won't care so much, if the Zhang family is too much, she naturally has a way to let her father, who is proud of his brother, help her out.

After a few times, the Zhang family didn't dare to act rashly if they couldn't get good fruits, and they formed a more delicate balance at home.

It's just that such a home makes her feel so depressed, and those people in the family don't seem to be her relatives, and she has to be on guard against them at all times.

My thoughts drifted a little far, and when I came back to my senses, I heard two girls chattering and complaining: "Obviously because our eldest son and the prince are comrades, our house received the invitation to the birthday banquet of the old man of the Dingguo Mansion, and the post was also sent to our three girls, but the lady controlled the post and refused to give it to our girl, and now I want to make clothes and jewelry to cross our girl!" ”

"Madame wants to take the second lady to go, you haven't seen the smile on Madame's face since she got the post, and recently she has prepared a lot of clothes and jewelry for the second girl in private, who thinks you don't know!" Yuhuan also hated and hated.

"If you want to say that our three girls are the original concubines of the serious, the second girl can't say anything and can't go past our three girls, but you see, until now, I haven't prepared the things for our girls to use that day, if it wasn't for the Hou Ye to open his mouth a few days ago, I don't think Mrs. would have wanted to take our girls there!" Yuzhu was full of indignation.

"Hmph, madam, I'm afraid that our girl will go and compare the second girl, our girl is both talented and beautiful, even if she wears ordinary clothes, she looks better than the second girl, and her poetry and talent are better than the second girl!" Yuhuan said arrogantly with his chin held high.

Qiao Qiutong looked at her appearance with Rong Youyan, and couldn't help but laugh "poof", this girl was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable in her heart, so she changed her way to make herself happy!

She was indeed a little depressed in her heart, but it wasn't because of her stepmother's poor treatment, nor because her second sister wanted to compare herself to the Fa, but because of what, in fact, she couldn't say clearly!

For more than three years, when she occasionally dreams back at midnight, she will think of the figure who saved her at the beginning, and even the smell of blood and masculinity on him at that time, she can recall it in her dreams.

Every time she had such a dream, when she woke up, she couldn't help but blush and bury herself in the brocade quilt, scolding herself, how can a girl's family always dream of men.

However, the dream should have come or returned.

Gradually, the figure and the smell seemed to have become a part of her life, as if she and he were the most familiar strangers, and she was so familiar with him in her dreams, but in reality they never intersected again.

She never thought to break this strange feeling, because she knew. The two of them are not people of the same level.

She is just a little woman who lost her mother in the declining Hou Mansion, even if a woman can marry highly, she can marry into the family of a second- or third-grade adult.

And he is the most dazzling single nobleman in Da Chu, with a prominent status, and he is the ideal husband in the minds of thousands of women.

As far as she knew, there were several famous ladies and nobles in the capital who admired him, and they were all real noblewomen, with prominent family backgrounds and both talents and appearances. She can't compare to them.

It is destined to be a fruitless ending. So she has always been able to control her heart, knowing that there will be no result, so she never thinks about it, and it won't hurt if she doesn't think about it. It doesn't hurt either. I can still live my life openly!

I just heard it suddenly. He is coming back to Beijing, and he may want to see a woman he likes, and then make a lifelong marriage contract. From then on, the man who made the king have a wife and became another woman will hold up a piece of heaven and earth for that woman.

As long as she thought of this, her heart was sullen and a little uncomfortable.

Kneeling on the futon in the temple, facing the solemn Buddha seat above, Qiao Qiutong exhaled deeply, forcing the distracting thoughts in his chest and brain out of his body, and calming his heart down, not thinking about it, not thinking about it.

In fact, she has been hesitant to go to the banquet of the Dingguo Mansion in her heart, and she doesn't know whether she should go or not.

She didn't want to go because she was afraid of seeing him in her dreams, and she was afraid that if she really saw him, she would not be able to control her heart and have thoughts that she shouldn't have.

However, she wanted to go again, she was now fifteen years old, and she was out of her mother's filial piety, maybe next year, the year after next her stepmother would marry off her eyesore, and it might still be a marriage with a deal.

When she becomes another woman, she can't help herself, and it will be difficult to go out.

Maybe this is the last chance she will have to see him in her life, if she doesn't go, she is afraid that she will regret it for the rest of her life!

Under a hundred-year-old banyan tree in the backyard of the temple, pinching a fallen leaf falling from a book, Qiao Qiutong finally made a decision, "Go, go!" ”

Back then, she was able to stop in front of her mother regardless of her life and fight with the fierce rebels, knowing that she was not the kind of stingy weak daughter in her bones, so why should she look ahead and backwards, go and go, she doesn't want to think about it in the future and regret complaining about her current self!

After thinking about this, she patted the smooth heads of the two girls, got up and said to them: "Let's go, let's go home, go home and find Mrs. to make clothes and jewelry!" ”

The two girls were stunned by their own girl's sudden appearance, and they looked at their own girl inexplicably, "Girl, no, didn't you say, don't you care?" ”

"Who said that, this girl didn't say it, how can you go out to participate in such a big banquet without good clothes and good jewelry, isn't this a shame for my father and my brother!" Qiao Qiutong walked as he walked.

She hadn't made up her mind whether to go or not before, so she looked more negative about the banquet, probably because the two girls misunderstood.

Now that these two girls saw that their girl had finally opened up, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they began to talk about the style of clothes and jewelry after their girl.

On the way back, it was already afternoon, and the carriage was halfway through, when suddenly the sky darkened, dark clouds rolled in, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.

Although spring rain is as expensive as oil, it is not a good thing for pedestrians.

"Third girl, it's raining, do you think we should continue to move forward, or find a place to shelter from the rain?" The old horse who was driving the cart asked respectfully in front of the car.

Qiao Qiutong lifted the window and looked outside, the rain was not heavy, so he asked, "Uncle Ma, can you still go?" ”

"Back to the third girl, you can walk if you can, but you have to go slower!" The old horse replied.

"Then let's go, go back early, and be at ease early!" Qiao Qiutong said that there are not many people who accompany her out today, and there are no pedestrians on the road because of the rain at this time.

"Yes, then sit tight!" The old horse got the answer, and continued to whip up.

It's just that he hasn't gone far before the carriage suddenly stopped, and Qiao Qiutong, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Quickly lifted the corner of the car window and looked out, only to see one of the two little guys who accompanied her out, at this time was knocked to the ground by a masked man and fainted.

She looked at the other side again, and happened to see another little guy and the coachman and the old horse lying unconscious on the side of the road, and there were still two masked men standing next to them.

Yuzhu and Yuhuan also saw the situation outside the car, and immediately screamed in fright, but Qiao Qiutong covered their mouths with his hands and eyes.

At this time, Qiao Qiutong was extremely calm, they had encountered a robbery, but the other party was obviously not asking for money, if they were asking for money, they should have spoken out a long time ago, thinking of the three little women in the car, she couldn't help but feel chills in her heart, if these people did that beastly thing to them, then they wouldn't be able to live!

"Listen, don't make a sound, if someone opens the car door for a while, let's take advantage of the other party's inattention, quickly run out, run separately, don't look back, run as far as we can!" Qiao Qiutong whispered in the ears of the two girls.

The two girls shook their heads in horror, how could they leave the girl and run away by themselves!

Qiao Qiutong knew what they were thinking, and said in a determined low voice: "I'm faster than the two of you, are you two going to drag me down if you two don't run, besides, we can only have a glimmer of life if we run separately and distract each other's attention!" ”

The two girls then thought that since the death of their wife, the girl thought that the woman was too weak and needed some self-protection ability, so she learned some kung fu from her uncle.

Although the time is still short, it is just a few fists and embroidered legs, but it is also powerful in the boudoir, and it is indeed really faster than the two of them, so he quickly nodded.

Seeing that the two girls understood, Qiao Qiutong pulled out his golden hairpin from his head and held it in his hand, quietly moved to the side of the car door, and then also commanded the two girls to move to a position conducive to escape.

As soon as they were arranged, there was a noise at the car door, and then the car door was opened suddenly, Qiao Qiutong didn't have time to see the other party's appearance clearly, so he picked up the hairpin in his hand and inserted it fiercely into the other party's hand to open the door.

The jade beads and jade rings on the side also imitated their own girl's appearance, and inserted the silver hairpin in their hands into the other hand.

I saw that the man screamed a few times in pain, and his hands involuntarily let go of the car door, and Qiao Qiutong shouted: "Run!" ”

After saying that, she jumped out of the crack in the door first, and ran into the forest by the road without looking back, and she was relieved to see that the two girls also ran out and ran in different directions.

That's all she can do, and the rest depends on the luck of their master and servant! (To be continued.) )
