Chapter 237, the nightmare did not wake up

"Get up! Get up! It's time for breakfast! ”

Changsheng is dreaming of her past life, her sister got her salary for the first time and invited her to dinner, facing a table full of beloved dishes, her saliva was about to flow out, and her sister looked at her with such a gentle smile, obviously a young woman like a flower, but her eyes were full of motherly love, she smiled and raised her chopsticks to grab a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, but was woken up by a hateful scream, who is so hateful?

was about to scold a few words, but found that there seemed to be something soft and hot in his arms, and his nose was full of sour and musty smell, and he was suddenly startled, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to remember that the Xie family suffered a great change last night, and she was in prison for accompanying Shu'er with the daughters of the Xie family.

It was still last night's women's cell, still no natural light came in, last night down the long steps, it looked like it should be a dungeon, she could see the surroundings clearly because a dim oil lamp was lit outside the cell, shining through the wooden fence, the female cell head came in last night with a large black wooden barrel, and the other carried a bamboo basket, which seemed to have a coarse porcelain bowl and a wooden spoon.

The women who had temporarily forgotten the reality in their sleep also woke up, and when they saw all this great change in front of them from the past, some cried loudly, some cursed in a low voice, and the old lady drank: "What is the trouble? Is it useful to make another fuss? It's already like this, do you still want to cause trouble? Suddenly there was silence, only Lin Xinhui's daughter Jinniang still couldn't accept all this in front of her, and was scolded by her mother again, crying loudly.

Jin Shu in her arms was finally woken up, she yawned and rubbed her eyes as before, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that Changsheng was holding her, and immediately smiled sweetly at her, Changsheng's heart was warm, and she was sad again, she probably forgot about yesterday's events, thinking that she was still in her own bed.

Jin Shu quickly noticed, she glanced around in horror, and shouted "Auntie", only to remember yesterday's incident, the huge gap made her can't help but cry with a small mouth.

The head of the female cell didn't seem to see this at all, she lined up the bowls along the wooden fence with a blank face, and said routinely: "There are fifteen female prisoners in total, one bowl per person, no competition, eat quickly, and collect the bowl after a pillar of incense!" ”

Except for the two children, no one made a sound, no one moved the bowl, and the female cell head left quickly, Lin Xinhui couldn't help but curse: "Is this called eating?" Our minions didn't eat this before! ”

There were several aunts who should also be together, and the two children forgot to be afraid for a while and did not cry, and the old lady said coldly: "Shut up! In this situation now, it is difficult to say whether you can survive or not, and what is it compared to before? After being in prison, you still want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas? This is a heavenly prison, as long as you can get out alive, it is already a great creation, and it is good to have this kind of food to eat! ”

After all, Lin Xinhui was still afraid that her mother-in-law would get used to it, so she didn't dare to scold anymore, but she just said with a crying voice: "Aren't I still distressed about Jinniang? Let's say, she is so young, and she has never suffered a little since she was a child, but how can she stand it? ”

The old lady closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was full of deep pain, and her voice was a little more pity: "Life and death, who can predict the blessings and misfortunes?" I'm old, it's nothing to live or die, the key is you and the children, don't you feel sorry for a few grandchildren? Don't complain anymore, coax Jin Niang well, feed her a little, I don't know if there is a next meal! ”

He turned his head again and looked at Changsheng with a complicated mood: "Shu'er is the same, she has to eat!" I really can't see that Miss Zhou is so affectionate, don't say thank you, since you have made such a choice, please take care of Shu'er, I'm old and can't do it! ”

Without waiting for Changsheng to reply, Lin Xinhui said hatefully: "What do you care about this dead girl? If it weren't for her father's refusal to listen to you and serve the prince, how could we have ended up like this? It must be that the crown prince succeeded to the throne because he hated him and sought revenge on the Xie family, and it was he who hurt us! I hate him to death! ”

"Xinhui, don't you want to live! I just don't want to live anymore, and don't bother the children, isn't it miserable that it has reached this point? What you can say! Shut your mouth and feed Jin Niang, who knows what's going on! ”

Lin Xinhui was startled, only then did she feel that what she said was all about looking for death, she finally closed her mouth and cried.

Changsheng no longer cares about her, she softly persuaded Jinshu with Mingjing's words yesterday, Jinshu finally agreed to drink porridge, at this time, no one took the initiative to serve the porridge bowl, Changsheng put down her and walked to the wooden fence to pick up a porridge bowl, the porridge is brown rice boiled, there is no heat, it is relatively thick, but there is no fragrance of porridge soup on weekdays, there is only a small bowl for one person, and there is no other food, even if it is breakfast.

Changsheng handed the porridge to the old lady with both hands, and said calmly: "The old lady is careful of her body, drink the porridge!" ”

The old lady nodded solemnly and took a sip, Changsheng frowned when he saw her, but he didn't say anything, he still drank one bite at a time, Changsheng admired her concentration, and no longer persuaded anyone, and brought two more bowls, one bowl was hers, and the other bowl was Jinshu's.

I took a closer look in the dim light, tasted it again, and couldn't help frowning, this porridge is really not delicious, just white porridge, without any seasoning, brown rice is not too bad, there is no obvious musty smell, there is no toothy sand and stone, not as unbearable as the rice in the general prison, but there is no fragrance.

It's just that the cook is messing around for the sake of saving trouble, the porridge is not boiled, it should be boiled last night when the rice is boiled in the pot, and then it is soaked in ****, and it will be burned for a while in the second morning, of course, such porridge is far behind, but it can still be drunk, because after all, it is not moldy or rancid, and it is not the worst prison meal, I just hope that this porridge will not drink anything wrong, so that the people in the prison can live first.

No matter how unpalatable it is, you have to eat it, because that's all there is. Changsheng picked up the bowl and handed it to Jin Shu, and said softly: "Shu'er is a strong child, come, taste the porridge, listen to my aunt's words, no matter how bad it is, don't spit it out, because the children of poor families grew up drinking this, and they slowly get used to it, and there is nothing else to eat, if you don't drink, you will be hungry!" ”

Jin Shu tasted a small bite under Changsheng's encouragement, and was about to spit it out, but saw that Changsheng was looking at her with undeniable eyes, she snorted, tears rolled out, but she still swallowed, Changsheng praised her, handed the bowl again, Jin Shu wiped away her tears, and took a sip again.

Lin Xinhui was encouraged, remembering that her daughter only nibbled on a few mouthfuls of mixed noodles last night, and then cried and fell asleep, and now she was probably very hungry, so she ordered an aunt who looked honest to go over and serve the rice, the concubine was probably bullied and scared by her, although she was already in such a situation, she still didn't dare to resist, so she took a bowl of porridge and handed it over respectfully with both hands: "Madame, please!" ”

Lin Xinhui seemed to have returned to the majestic days of the past, she took the bowl without raising her eyelids, and coaxed Jin Niang with the words that Changsheng had just coaxed Jin Shu, although Jin Niang shouted that she wanted to eat breakfast on weekdays, but she was probably very hungry, and she saw that there was really nothing else to eat, so she obediently took a sip, but spit it out, and then cried "wow", Lin Xinhui hurriedly wiped the rice grains on her chin and face, and it was rare that she still had an embroidered handkerchief.

The old lady only drank her own porridge, ignoring these, the porridge was not much, and it was not hot, she quickly drank it, handed the bowl to an aunt in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and then said to Lin Xinhui: "Give me Jinniang, I will feed her, drink as much as you can, you can't stand it when you are hungry, you can get used to it, you also go to drink porridge, remember, you have to set a good example for the child first, and finally drink it!" In fact, it's not hard to drink, it's better than nothing, it's already to the point where living one day at a time is a day! ”

Lin Xinhui nodded and said to a few aunts, "Did you hear the old lady's words?" Go drink it, you won't have to drink it when you put away the bowl! ”

Several aunts went to serve porridge with different expressions, some looked depressed after taking a sip, and some listened to the old lady's words and forced themselves to drink. The old lady didn't care about anything else, and concentrated on coaxing Jin Niang to drink porridge, Jin Niang cried while drinking, and couldn't swallow a bite for a long time.

Lin Xinhui has lived a life of fine clothes and food since she was a child, not to mention eating, she may have never seen such a rough porridge, and her expression changed after tasting it, but thinking of the old lady's words, seeing her daughter shaking her head and refusing to drink porridge with tears in her eyes, she lowered her eyelids and drank, her eyes fluttering.

Changsheng sighed softly, watching Jin Shu swallow the porridge with great difficulty, the eyes on her face were not dry, she was very distressed but helpless, and quietly wiped away her tears while she was not paying attention and said: "Aunt believes that you are a strong child, you will definitely drink it yourself, and my aunt is also going to drink porridge, did you hear the old lady's words?" If you don't drink again, people will come to collect the bowls, and my aunt will have nothing to drink, so she will be hungry! ”

Jin Shu nodded, took the bowl from Changsheng's hand, and said softly: "Auntie, go and drink it, Shu'er can drink it herself, you are right, no matter how hard it is, you have to drink it, otherwise I will starve to death, I have to wait for my father to save everyone!" ”

Changsheng was taken aback, although she didn't know why things had developed to this point, she guessed that Mingche's current situation was not better than theirs, if Jin Shu's words fell into the ears of those who cared, the Xie family was afraid that they would be guilty!

Just as she was about to warn Jin Shu, Lin Xinhui suddenly turned her head and stared at Shu'er with extremely resentful eyes, and wanted to scold Mingche for harming everyone again, thinking of the old lady's words, she snorted coldly and turned her head.

Changsheng was taken aback, fortunately he came with him, otherwise who knows how she would treat Shu'er, and suddenly understood that she still counted the sudden disaster of the Xie family on Ming Che's head, and suddenly felt very upset, what is the cause of this disaster? Whether it is the success of the crown prince or the success of King Qin, the Xie family should not fall to such a situation? And where is the history, it is clear that King Qin has succeeded, and with Ming Che, who he relies on the most, how could the Xie family be raided?

But what she can do at the moment is to stare at Jin Shu and drink the porridge first, and then drink her own bowl, and then warn Jin Shu that in order to survive, what can and cannot be said.
