Volume 2 This Goes to Xie Mansion Chapter 233, a catastrophe is coming
Chapter 233: A catastrophe is coming
Because the weather was too hot, Changsheng remembered that the students in his previous life still had winter and summer vacations, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Jinshu, so he went to ask the old lady to agree that Jinshu would rest for five days before going to class, and just like that, Jinshu's studies were suspended for a few days.
On a very sultry afternoon on July 2nd, Changsheng was still sitting in a pavilion hidden in the shade of a tree with Jinshu, and on the stone table were iced sour plum soup and honey herbal tea, and the two were playing checkers carved out of wood.
A gust of wind blew, not only bringing coolness, but also a faint floral fragrance, which suddenly made people feel refreshed, Xiao Wei said in surprise: "Ah! Got the wind? Is it going to rain? It's time for the next one, it's hot these days! ”
Changsheng raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the southeast, and couldn't help but smile: "You said yes, it's likely to rain at night!" Don't be afraid of lightning and thunder! ”
As he was talking, there seemed to be a noise coming from the front yard, and if you listened closely, it seemed that there were faint screams and cries of many people, what happened? Isn't this normal? The old lady is very strict in governing the family, not to mention the slave, even if the master encounters something, he is not allowed to panic, unless it is something terrible!
Changsheng's heart was stagnant, suddenly realized something, stood up suddenly, his expression was both shocked and frightened, and the people around him also looked at her in panic, Aunt Tai heard the voice and came out of the East Cross Courtyard with a suspicious expression, and was guessing, the door of Jinshu Courtyard was pushed open suddenly, and a small maid ran in extremely panicked, everyone recognized it as the little maid next to Mingjing, he approached a little closer, saw Changsheng, panted and whispered: "Girl! Something is wrong! Many Praetorian Guards came to raid the house, saying that the second master and the third master rebelled together! They are searching in the front yard, here they didn't find it for a while, but they will come over soon, the third master sent me to secretly come over to inform the girl, so I have a mental preparation! He also said that the girl should not be afraid, don't conflict with those people, he will find a way! ”
Suddenly there was an exclamation, although Jin Shu didn't understand what copying a house was, but she was also so frightened that her face turned pale, Changsheng almost collapsed, she suppressed the wild beat in her heart, why did this happen? Could it be that the Xuanwumen Incident has already happened? But whether it is the crown prince ascending the throne or the king of Qin ascending the throne, it is only to punish a few people in the Xie Mansion, not to copy all the doors?
But she was no longer allowed to think about this problem, she motioned for the little servant to go back, so as not to be found to ventilate the news, and quickly sorted out her thoughts a little, the time was very short, the other masters and servants were all controlled, and the outside must be surrounded by water, there was no possibility of escape, there was nothing to do but sit and wait to die, but she had to hurry up these few minutes to do something!
The girls and grandmothers of Jinshu Courtyard also ran out, and the scene was chaotic and panicked for a while.
She took a deep breath, first quickly took off all her jewelry, took off the golden pig around Jinshu's neck and held it in her hand, and whispered a few words to Zihu, and then asked Xiaowei and Xiaoni to take Jinshu back to take off the valuable jewelry and put it on the table, and put a few more old clothes on her, and when she copied the jewelry, it would definitely be taken away, so as not to frighten her with the rude actions of those soldiers.
Then he said to Aunt Tai: "Aunt Tai, go back to the house, take off the jewelry, pick out old clothes and wear one or two more, maybe you can use it at a critical time!" A few more whispers to Aunt Tai, who suppressed the initial panic and nodded, and immediately went into the house.
He also said to the slaves: "Don't be afraid if you don't sell yourself to Xie Fu as a slave, the hired people will not be implicated, and when they will raid your house, they will drive you out at most, go back and pack up your saved belongings, and bring as much as you can!" ”
Everyone understood, scattered and fled, but Changsheng quickly ran towards Xinyi Courtyard, the door was still closed from the inside, she slammed the door fiercely, the old woman opened the door and was startled, she didn't care about explaining, only shouted: "The officers and soldiers are coming to raid the house!" Open the study door! ”
The old lady was already trembling with fright, Changsheng didn't care about comforting her, snatched the key and ran to the study, hurriedly opened the door, pulled down Lin Xinyi's portrait, took off the painting scroll, quickly folded it into a very small ball, and stuffed the little golden pig into it, hid it in a proper place in his arms, and secretly glad that Mingche was painted with thin silk, not paper. She is a woman, and she is not the master of Xie Mansion, so she will not be searched, even if Xie Mansion raids her home, she can't allow her sister's only portrait to be trampled on and destroyed.
When she came out, there was no one in the courtyard, probably all went back to the house to pack up her belongings, she quickly came to the main house, several nurses and grandmothers were hired from the vicinity of Wugong County, and they had already gone back to the house to pack up their respective salutes, only the Winnie sisters who sold the death deed and were the children of the family and Coke Kexi were comforting Jinshu who was crying, and they were hurriedly putting old clothes on her.
Changsheng suddenly calmed down, she thought that she was not a slave of the Xie family, she was a hired upbringing aunt, Xie Fu raided the house, it should have nothing to do with herself, at most she lost some property, and she could definitely withdraw safely, but when she saw Jinshu crying in a mess, her heart ached.
At a young age, she has no mother, her father's life and death are unknown, and a catastrophe is coming, can she leave Jinshu behind? Although the Xie family's daughter will not be released immediately after the house, she will definitely be locked up in prison for some time, and it will be difficult for Jinshu to escape such a fate, who can really take care of her who is frightened and in a very bad situation? It is impossible for Mingjing to be locked up in the women's prison, Mrs. Xie and Lin Xinhui hate Mingche and Lin Xinyi, Mingche's aunts have long been extremely dissatisfied with Mingche's favorite daughter but snubbed them, Changsheng shuddered, Jinshu and those women were locked up in a dirty, dark and poor women's prison, can she still live?
She quickly made up her mind that everything that was coming might be very unbearable, but she also wanted to be with Jinshu and never leave her half a step!
"Shu'er, don't cry! Don't be afraid! No matter what happens for a while, you can't cry, you have to listen to your aunt obediently, your aunt can't stop what is going to happen next, but your aunt promises you that she will be with you every step of the way! ”
Jin Shu looked at the determined look on her face, a heart calmed down gradually, quickly stopped crying, nodded solemnly, Changsheng ordered Xiao Wei to put three layers of clothes on her, and she herself quickly put on two layers of half-worn clothes, although it was very hot now, but after being locked in the cell, it was cold and damp all year round, and there would be no change of clothes, so it was right to wear a few more pieces.
Zihu found out the two small boxes where she and Jinshu put their belongings, the jewelry inside could not be taken away, and the rest could only be brought as much as she wanted, she quickly stuffed a few taels of silver into the bun, and the others came to their senses, and quickly did so, and checked each other for no leaks, Changsheng took out a few hundred taels of silver tickets from the two boxes, and gave one to each of the five of them, hid two in the soles of his shoes, and stuffed two into Jinshu's placket, and ordered everyone to do the same, Jinshu's box also had some silver tickets, It was the bounty she had saved since she was a child and her mother's relics, and she didn't dare to take it again to avoid suspicion from the people who raided the house, and she still put the box away, no matter what time it was, it was always more convenient to have silver in her hand.
Her composure infected everyone, and several girls were not so scared, Changsheng thought of the fate they were going to face next, and his heart ached, and he suddenly hated that his strength was so weak, not to mention protecting the people around him, he couldn't even protect himself.
She looked directly at them and said word by word: "Don't be afraid, you are slaves, you will not go to prison, but you will be sold by the officials, maybe there will be a kind master who buys you, maybe you must hide the silver ticket, you are a woman, and a slave, you will not be searched, although you can't rely on it to settle down, but you can always solve a momentary emergency." What I want to say is, if you are sold to something unbearable, it is not your fault, you must live strongly, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely do everything possible to find you, maybe we will meet again one day, don't be afraid, remember my aunt's words! ”
A few people quickly understood what she meant, Xie Mansion was copied, the tree fell and scattered, although they are slaves, they will not be convicted, but they will be sold by the officials, if they are bought by rich and noble families as slaves and concubines, it is better, I am afraid that they will be bought by ** building, it is better to die! But Changsheng's words gave them confidence again, and they couldn't bear to cry anymore to make Changsheng uncomfortable, several people looked at each other and nodded firmly: "Auntie, don't worry, we have suffered a lot since we were children, so we are not afraid of hardship, no matter how hard we are, we must live, waiting for the day when we see the girl!" ”
Zihu thought of the identity of Changsheng, and remembered what she said to Jinshu, she nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, girl, Zihu understands what you mean, you could have retreated with your whole body, and in order to protect the eldest lady, you would rather go to prison, what else can we not accept?" We believe that one day we will see the girl again, and for this day, we can endure any hardship! You can suffer any sin! Girl, take care of yourself, the eldest lady is all up to you! ”
The other four girls quickly understood Zihu's words, tears fell together, Changsheng was about to be comforted, and was stepped away with a loud bang, and there was a noise outside, and someone shouted rudely: "Come out!" Come out! Masters, slaves, men, and women will all come out to me! ”
Changsheng quickly comforted everyone with his eyes, motioned for everyone to mess up their hair a little, thought about it and put Jinshu's Jin Yingluo and longevity lock on for her, grabbed Jinshu tightly and said, "Let's go, don't wait for them to come in and push and shove!" After you go out, stand in a bunch with everyone, your aunt will never leave you, do whatever it will make you do, don't cry, remember no? ”
Jin Shu nodded, and the group went out of the house, a group of officers and soldiers with complete armor and spears had entered the courtyard majestically, shouting and shouting people to come out, and a company drove the people out to the open space in the courtyard, and there was a trembling and tearful housekeeper standing on the side, holding the Xie family's population book, and was pointed out by a soldier with a gun and reading the list of the masters and servants of Jinshu Courtyard with a crying voice.
