Chapter 45: Friends in Tribulation

Zixuan burst into tears excitedly, "Second son, where did you get these two bracelets?" ”

Shimin thought she would be happy, but I don't know why she cried, "When Daxing was captured, many people sent some rare treasures. I saw that these two bracelets were very well made, so I left them for you, what? What is the origin of these two bracelets? ”

Zixuan wiped a handful of tears, "These two bracelets were bought by my grandmother and my sister when she was alive. At that time, we were going to Jinyang, there was no travel fee, so we had to take them as such, I didn't expect to see them again in this life! Thank you, thank you so much! ”

She actually cried and hugged Shimin, who patted her on the back, "Don't cry, this bracelet can be returned to you, and it can also comfort your grandmother's spirit in heaven." ”

Unexpectedly, she cried even more violently, and the skirts of Shimin's clothes were wet from her crying, and she said intermittently: "Actually...... I would love to go home...... I miss my father and mother...... I lost my sister...... I'm sorry grandma......"

Shimin mourned in his heart, he had never seen her like this, she always hid her heart in her heart, and behaved carefully, how many things did she suppress in her heart? At this moment, Shimin felt that this thin girl was so distressing......

But she couldn't let her cry all the time like this, Shimin hugged her waist tightly and changed to a mocking tone: "Hey, I didn't want to use these two bracelets as a dowry, but is your current watch considered a hug?" ”

The crying stopped immediately, Zixuan pushed him away, and said viciously: "I won't accept your love, these two bracelets are originally mine!" This is called the return of things to their rightful owners. Throw yourself into the ...... You want to be beautiful......"

After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door and ran out, only to hear Li Shimin's voice floating from behind: "But, this young lady, you have already taken these two bracelets." ”

Zixuan just pretended not to hear it, and ran away......

At the end of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, of course, at this time in Daxing had been changed to the first year of Yining, Shimin led a large army to conquer Xue Ju. At this time, Xue Ju ascended the throne and became the emperor, and the country name was Xiqin.

This time, the people of the world made a quick decision. On December 17, Shimin led the Tang army to behead thousands of Western Qin soldiers and chased them to the Longshan Pass and returned.

Xue Ju fled from Yuelong, this was the first defeat in his life, Xue Ju was very afraid of Li Shimin, and went back to ask his subordinates: "You have all read, tell me, since ancient times, has there been such a thing as the surrender of the Son of Heaven?" Chu Liang, the squire of the Yellow Gate, said: "In the past, Zhao Tuo returned to the Han Dynasty in southern Guangdong, and Liu Chan of the Shu Han Dynasty also came out of the Jin Dynasty, and Xiao Cong in modern times, his family is still there, turning disasters into blessings, and there have been since ancient times. Wei Weiqing Hao Ying said: "What Chu Liang said is true. In the past, the soldiers and horses of the Han Gaozu were repeatedly defeated, and the ancestor of Shu had lost his wife and child. There is a victory or defeat in the war, so how can you talk about the plan to destroy the country because you can't win a war? Xue Ju regretted that he shouldn't have asked such a useless question, and found a step for himself: "I'm just trying you." ”

Ziyi opened her eyes in pain, fortunately, this is Li Yuanji's room, and she is not dead. She looked around, there was no one, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep. Thinking of the bloody scene she saw before she passed out, Ziyi still felt shuddering. Li Yuanji, he's terrible!

With a squeak, the door opened, and Ziyi's whole body tensed. Walking in was Sixi.

"Yo, the fourth young grandmother woke up?" Sixi said unceremoniously.

"Sixi, it's you." Ziyi said weakly.

Sixi snorted, "Why not me?" Thanks to my life, I won't be killed by your shovel! ”

Seeing that Ziyi didn't speak, Sixi gloated and continued: "However, you are much worse than me now. The whip of the fourth prince is not comfortable, right? Yes! By the way, I forgot to tell you, you were already pregnant, but because of that whip miscarriage, your stomach still hurts! ”

When she said this, Ziyi felt that her stomach was really hurting. But it's okay, she doesn't want to give birth to Li Yuanji.

"You had a miscarriage, but I have a baby." Sixi raised his head and looked at Ziyi proudly, stroking his belly with one hand, "After following the fourth prince for a few years, God can be regarded as an eye-opener, and now I have the flesh and blood of the fourth son, and I finally get rid of the identity of being a subordinate." Oh, by the way, my surname is Tong, and you will have to call me Mrs. Tong in the future. ”

Sixi went out with a smile, Ziyi originally thought that Sixi was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and doing some bad things was also instigated by Li Yuanji, but now it seems that she underestimated her, she is an out-and-out villain who is rampant. And his shovel completely offended this villain, and I am afraid that the future will be more and more difficult.

However, Sixi is still second, mainly Li Yuanji, the devil......

The boundless darkness of the night was like a big net sprinkled all over the world, and the faint candlelight on the table seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness at any time.

With a bang, the door opened, and a cold wind blew in. Li Yuanji staggered into the house with a strong smell of alcohol. Ziyi shrank into the corner of the bed and pressed her back against the wall, wishing she could squeeze herself into the wall. She tugged at her clothes tightly, and her horror was like a long sword, piercing through her head, throat, and heart all the way, and Ziyi only felt that her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

Li Yuanji walked to the side of the bed crookedly, climbed up, looked at Ziyi with a pair of red eyes, stretched out his hand and patted her face, "Are you awake?" ”

Ziyi felt that he was covered with a layer of blood, like a frightened bird with a bullet, covering his head with both hands, and his whole body curled up, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”

Li Yuanji laughed, "I know I'm scared this time, if you are obedient, how can I kill you?" After all, you are so beautiful! But I still have to make you suffer a little, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have a long memory. ”

Saying that, Li Yuanji pulled her and tore her clothes......

Just had a miscarriage and was whipped again, her body was already weak, and he galloped on her without mercy, Ziyi was even more in pain, but she could only grit her teeth and endure it, and she didn't even dare to cry......

Li Yuanji didn't stay here, he left after venting, leaving Ziyi shivering, still with lingering palpitations.

At noon the next day, Sixi came again, followed by a little girl of twelve or thirteen, timid.

Sixi glanced at Ziyi's weak appearance, sneered and said, "Fourth young grandmother, this is the maid that the fourth prince sent to you, what about her, she just entered the mansion, you still need to train and train." But there is no way, this is almost the New Year, all the ladies in the Li Mansion except for the four rooms are going to Daxing, and the maids and mothers-in-law are also going to follow, and there are not enough people in the house, so you will use it. ”

Ziyi barely squeezed out a smile, "It's okay." ”

"But the fourth young master said, since so many people have gone to Daxing, this house is vacant, and the fourth young grandmother doesn't have to live here, change a larger room for the fourth young grandmother." Four happy smiles proudly.

"Okay." Ziyi replied to her simply, she didn't want to talk nonsense with this kind of person.

"Then don't hurry up and help the fourth young grandmother clean up her things!" Sixi said to the little girl, and then he held his waist with one hand and touched his belly that had not yet bulged with the other hand and went out.

"Yes." The little maid replied cowardly, and then clumsily packed up Ziyi's clothes.

Pushing open the door, the cold wind came with snow flakes, and the little maid went out with a package in one hand and Ziyi in the other. They followed the little maid to the new residence, where is the larger room, this is the original firewood room of the Li Mansion!

This is what Li Yuanji gave her, Ziyi walked into the firewood room, there was only a broken table in the room, and the bed that creaked when she sat down. This firewood room was ventilated all around, and Ziyi felt that her body and heart were cold. She had just had a miscarriage, and the whiplash wound on her body had not yet healed, so Li Yuanji actually let her live in such a place. Perhaps, this is already his "mercy", after all, he has not divided her five horses yet.

The little maid didn't dare to say much, and silently packed up her things.

Ziyi's body was too weak, her legs were weak for a while, and Rao was so broken that Ziyi fell asleep quickly when she lay down. He slept until dark, when he was woken up by a low cry.

Ziyi opened her eyes and saw that it was the little maid, who had laid a bunk in the corner of the wall with hay, and was curled up on it crying.

"What's wrong with you?" Ziyi asked.

The little maid was startled, and quickly wiped away her tears, "Fourth young grandmother, I'm sorry to wake you up." ”

Ziyi called her over, looked at her eyes like peaches crying, and sighed, "Follow me, you will have to suffer too." ”

The little girl's head shook like a rattle, "No, Fourth Young Grandmother, I'm not afraid of hardship." I'm because ...... In this world, I don't have a single relative...... My mother died early, and my father and I depended on each other...... But my father also fell ill and died, and the family had no money at all, so I had no other way but to sell myself to bury my father...... It is my blessing that Li Fu bought me to be a maid, it is better than being bought by a kiln...... I just miss my dad ......."

Saying that, the little girl cried again, on her immature face, a pair of big eyes flickered and distressed, Ziyi looked at her and couldn't help but think of her own life experience, stretched out her hand to help her comb the broken hair in front of her forehead, and sighed: "Another hard-working child, my parents are no longer in the world, and I miss them too." ”

Ziyi said that she also cried, and the little maid hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Fourth Young Grandma, it's all my fault that caused you to be sad." ”

"It's okay." Ziyi wiped her tears and looked at the floor where she was laying, "Where are you going to sleep?" ”

The little maid said, "Yes! There is only one bed here. It doesn't matter, my family has been very poor since I was a child, and I have suffered everything. ”

Ziyi said: "Since there is a bed, let's sleep on this bed together." ”

"How's that going to work?" The little maid was flattered, "I'm a subordinate, how can I sleep with my master?" ”

Ziyi said: "What kind of subordinate, master, life in this world is originally equal. You are still young, and the conditions here are so poor, if you sleep on the ground again, you will fall ill in the future. My sister and I used to sleep in the same bed, so you don't have to be my master, just my sister. ”
