Chapter 473, the beauty is in trouble
Because of the fact that I have been busy too much recently, Mingjing goes out early and returns late almost every day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, he came back early, and his mood was also very relaxed, because the two people he was looking for had their whereabouts, and they were Mingche's two concubines, Li Chunsang and Lu Shuang'e.
When the Xie family was raided, they followed them into the prison, but they were lucky to get out of prison alive but had nowhere to stay, and they were unwilling to leave Mingche, so they did not find another way out like other concubines, but followed the old lady back to Zhuangzi in the ancestral tomb.
Later, the hardest and most difficult days had to be over, and the old lady was angry with them because of the clear matter, and drove them out together, and their whereabouts have not been known ever since.
Although Mingche was angry but helpless after he was released from prison, and the family affair with Anyang was a foregone conclusion at that time, he didn't want to make any trouble, so he asked Mingjing to inquire about their whereabouts everywhere.
It's not that the old love for them is unforgettable, when the Xie Mansion was at its peak, he just raised them in fine clothes and food, and he didn't have much affection, but he felt that it was better to follow him, and he always knew their whereabouts and confirmed that they were living well now in order to feel at ease.
Qiu Fenghong's whereabouts have long been found, after she came out of the prison, she took refuge in her aunt of the same clan and hurriedly married and had children, and her life was good, Mingche sent someone to send a fee for dismissing the concubine according to the old practice of the Xie family, which can be regarded as buying peace of mind, and she has nothing to do with the Xie family from then on.
Li Chunsang is Mingche's first woman, and nearly thirty years old, grew up in Xie Mansion since he was a child, he is completely unfamiliar with the outside world, Mingche can't bear her to live without a dependent, and Lu Shuang'e is his cousin, his biological mother Aunt Mo repeatedly asked him to take care of his cousin before she died, he can't ignore his biological mother's wishes, and he can't bear to let her be alone.
Although when he was married to An Yang, he swore that there would only be one woman in Anyang in this life, and there would never be another woman between them and his wife.
He will also keep his oath and will never contaminate other women again, although Anyang has many intolerable shortcomings, but he is infatuated with him, not every noble girl has the courage to marry Bai Ding or even Qin for love, he remembers her good, and he doesn't want to live up to her.
Mingjing spent a lot of effort and finally found out their whereabouts, but fortunately, the situation of the two was not too bad.
When they were dismissed, the old lady still remembered to maintain the dignity of the famous family, and she was also grateful to the two of them for their hard service to her, and gave them some severance pay, so that they would not have no place to live.
The cost of the capital was too large, and they couldn't find out the clear news, so the two went to Lu Shuang'e's hometown Luoyang. Lu Shuang'e has lived there since she was a child, her parents' tombs are in Luoyang, after she was adopted by her aunt Aunt Mo, Aunt Mo also sent someone to send her back to worship a few times, each time she had to stay for a few days, Luoyang is the most familiar place for her in addition to the capital.
It's a pity that the ancestral house has long been sold, but fortunately, the rent and expenses in Luoyang are much lower than those in the capital, but the climate and living habits are similar, and it is not too far from the capital, and it is convenient to inquire about the news, so the two decided to live there temporarily, so they rented a small house and made a living by doing embroidery.
After more than half a year, the two gradually became acquainted with the neighbors, and someone came to the door to be a matchmaker.
Lu Shuang'e moved her heart first, she has been with her cousin for many years, but she can't get any affection, she used to enjoy glory and wealth in the Xie family, but now it can be said that there is nothing. In the past few years, I have been living in the market, and I gradually envy the days when ordinary couples and children are on their knees, and I don't want to waste it anymore.
Later, others introduced her to a shop manager to continue the string, and she felt satisfied, and after the family knew her identity, they also felt that she was more knowledgeable than a small family girl, and this family business was immediately completed.
I heard that she is pregnant, and now she is living a very comfortable life, even now that the Xie family is coming to pick her up, she will not go back.
However, Li Chunsang was old, and he asked the doctor to see that he could not raise him again, so he extinguished his mind to marry, and lived by embroidery alone, hoping to return to the Xie family to support the elderly.
Mingjing wrote a letter to Che to explain the matter, planning to send someone to Luoyang in the next few days, and according to Mingche's previous explanation, first, as Lu Shuang'e's cousin, he sent her an extraordinarily generous severance pay as a dowry, so she should buy peace of mind.
The second is to take Li Chunsang back and send her to serve the old lady as a concubine, and the Xie family will support her in the future, on the condition that she can't take the initiative to find Mingche and Anyang husband and wife.
Another thing on my mind landed, seeing that it was still early, and I was able to accompany my wife to dinner, and my clear mood became better and better.
When he arrived outside Princess Dexiao's mansion, he had just turned over and dismounted, a thin young woman in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, smoothing the folds on the old coarse cloth skirt, looking at her with low self-esteem and cowardice and hope, and suddenly stepped forward to grab the bridle, and looked at him with a strange look before she could say a word.
Mingjing was startled and was about to reprimand, but the woman choked up and shouted "cousin", Mingjing was startled, only to recognize her as Cheng Ziyu, I didn't expect that in just over a year, that young and sweet girl would become such a vicissitudes of life.
After a few years of wandering, she was haggard, her slender and delicate body became thin and weak, her young and sweet face was yellow and haggard, and her pair of watery eyes became dull, not yet twenty years old, but she was already a person who had experienced all the vicissitudes of life.
Cheng Ziyu saw that Mingjing recognized her, and her tears flowed down more and more.
In order not to be beaten and scolded, not to suffer from freezing and starvation, she had to exchange her flower-like body for food, clothing, property and temporary peace, and suffered all kinds of humiliation.
Until today, when she saw the brightness of the brocade clothes and jade crown, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that she seemed to have something to rely on.
Mingjing looked at her with a suspicious expression, since the Douhuang incident, he was extremely disgusted with this kind of woman who had no self-esteem and was stalking, but although Cheng Ziyu pestered him at the beginning, he didn't do anything too out of the ordinary because of his identity, and the old lady had always come forward to force the marriage, so the two did not have a bad relationship, and there was no major problem.
In addition, he is a soft-hearted and kind person, and Cheng Ziyu's appearance still makes him sympathetic, and he also has some sympathy.
After the Xuanwumen Incident, the whole family was imprisoned, and suffered a lot of hardships that they had never suffered in their lives, and they also witnessed many young ladies and noblewomen who were humiliated and suffered because their fathers, brothers and husbands were on the wrong side of the right and wrong, and they were exiled to the church or exiled to the bitter cold land.
Cheng Ziyu was able to escape from her mother-in-law and return to the capital alive, but she didn't know how much she suffered, thinking that she had nothing to rely on in Beijing, and she couldn't find herself until she could go on.
was soft-hearted for a while, so he comforted a few words, but he was worried that Changsheng would misunderstand, and he also wanted to find out what Cheng Ziyu's situation was now, so he didn't invite her into the princess's mansion, found a restaurant nearby, and rode over first, and asked the entourage to bring her over, and then asked her in detail.
After Cheng Ziyu cried enough, she saw a little pity in her clear expression, her heart was relieved, she wiped away her tears, and told him what happened during this time.
On the day of the Xuanwumen Incident, after Li Shimin killed Jiancheng and Yuanji, he immediately washed the Prince's Mansion and the Qi Palace, and Cheng Ziyu's father, as a subordinate official of the Prince's Mansion, died at that time, and heard that he was pulled to the mass grave and burned down, and there was no grave.
Subsequently, like the fate of other princes and henchmen of King Qi, the family was raided, and the men and women were exiled to the bitter cold land in the northwest.
Although the sin is not as good as that of a married daughter, Cheng Ziyu and Mingjing's relationship is only a verbal covenant between the elders, and there is no real marriage, and there is no condition for being pardoned, that is, the marriage is determined, and the Xie family has also been convicted and takes care of themselves, so how can they shelter her, so she was also exiled with her.
Because it was her father who caused the disaster, she and her mother-in-law suffered from the eyes and bullying of the clansmen along the way, and her aunt fell ill and died on the way, and Cheng Ziyu begged for a messenger to ask her aunt to see a doctor.
In order to have a better life on the road, my mother-in-law took advantage of her mother-in-law's eagerness to save her mother, and actually lost her conscience, and designed to let the leader of the errand who escorted them **** her.
At that time, she had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth, and she really wanted to die, but she couldn't let go of her poor biological mother, so she had to knock out her teeth and swallow blood, live with hatred and humiliation, and have to accompany the little boss every night.
After my aunt recovered from her illness, she died of anger because she learned the truth, and it was the little boss who came forward to get a thin coffin and bury it nearby, otherwise there would only be a roll of broken treatment.
The grandmother and the little leader could no longer use their aunt to control her, but they didn't dare to make another attempt, so they successfully arrived at the place of exile, and nearly half of the old and weak women in the clan had died.
It didn't take long for her mother to live this hard life, and she was disobedient, so she sold her to a merchant who was over forty years old at a high price, and the merchant's family was near Jinyang, and his wife did not allow her to return to his hometown, so he gave her to a clerk of Jinyang's assassin's mansion as a concubine.
The clerk was in her fifties, and soon fell seriously ill, and his wife dismissed the concubine in the family, and she was left alone again.
She wants to return to Beijing, hoping to have old friends to take refuge in, mainly because there is Xie Mingjing in the capital that she is most familiar with and can't let go of, and she will marry in Beijing at the least, anyway, she will die in the capital, and she will never stay in this strange and poor country.
She went back to Beijing alone with the silver, not only most of her belongings were robbed, but even people were almost deceived and sold, but fortunately she hid some belongings before leaving, and only returned to Beijing by relying on this, and there was not much left of that pitiful severance pay.
I inquired around but learned that my old friends were all convicted by Zhu Lian like her family, and the dead and scattered were nowhere to be found, only the Xie family was in good condition for the time being. But during that time, Mingjinghe happened to go back to Yunzhou after marrying Changsheng, and she was disappointed and didn't dare to go directly to the old lady.
I had to rent a room in a large compound and live in it first, and I lived temporarily by doing some laundry and sewing for others, and I had to deal with the bad intentions of some widowers and lonely men, and I inquired about the news whenever I had time. (To be continued.) )
