Twisted the handkerchief and handed it to the eldest girl, her mother patted her leg and sighed: "Good girl, why do you have to wade in that troubled water?" What does the matter with you? Look, it's covered in blood, and it's lost in front of so many people in the village, so why bother? It's your second sister's wedding! You are the eldest sister, I don't know how to be busy with food, and I don't know how to help your sister, what do you do if you don't have it? ”

The eldest girl silently wiped the blood scab on her hair, calmed her face, pursed the corners of her mouth and did not speak.

Seeing that she was silent, her mother said again: "But you regret it, right?" The man could not be saved, and he died after all. What little miracle doctor? I see that my ability is very limited, so I shouldn't have invited her to eat and drink, it's really a plague god who came to the door! Even with your sister's wedding, it's so angry that my liver hurts! ”

"If you have a liver pain, you should go to the medical hall to take a look," the big girl said coldly, "Maybe it's okay to look at it earlier, but if it's late, it's not accurate, the medical hall is not a Bodhisattva temple, and Dr. Yang is not a Guanyin master, can you still bring the dead back to life?" ”

"Hey! You're a girl, and you still help them talk? Her mother said angrily, "I have long seen that Ren Hetang is very eye-catching!" Last time, your dad went to do a favor and danced a lion dance, and he fell! But the eldest family of Sun Li had to invite them to eat and drink, but what happened? A good happy event turned into a funeral, and it was really unfortunate to go home! ”

The eldest girl snorted coldly, threw the blood-stained handkerchief back into the basin, stood up and walked into the inner room.

Her mother stood on the edge of the door, poured a basin of water outside, pursed her lips and whispered, "Tempered? Elbow still turned out? ”

said that the eldest girl Chen Yuqing entered the house, silently turned out her baggage, and laid out the things inside one by one: satin fabric for her mother, snuff for her father, and Fenghetang rouge for her second sister. There is also a purse for Sun Yaoyi that she embroidered by hand...... Now that he is his sister-in-law, it is no longer convenient to give this gift.

The people around her turned their backs on her again and again. First the parents, then the sister and Sun Yaoyi......

What is left of her life now?

In a barren gray. Suddenly, the bright red blood shone brightly, and it hit my heart like a surging tide. Chen Yuqing clenched her fists, the touch in her palm was still there, when she helped rescue the dying woman today, the urgent, unknown, and tense atmosphere made her strange and excited, which she had never experienced in serving people in the palace.

It turns out that a woman can also be a doctor? It turns out that a woman can also choose another path other than marriage? It turns out that women can also fight for their ideals?

Miss Yang was only in her early teens, and her methodical and calm expression during the operation was deeply imprinted in Yuqing's mind, which made her heart jump.

It's like composing a prelude to life, the moment you pick up the scalpel. Yang Zixi's whole temperament has changed, as if his palms dominate the whole world. Her fingers fluttered dexterously, although she couldn't understand the progress of her operation, but Chen Yuqing experienced the feeling of hanging a breath and desperately trying to race against time! She was doing her best to save the woman's life, though ...... The end result was still a failure.

Instead of frustration, decadence, or complaining that she had failed because she couldn't use the best treatment, she just quietly sutured the wound in the woman's abdomen and finally whispered sorry.

In fact, she didn't feel sorry for anyone, even Chen Yuqing, who couldn't understand it. She tried her best! I did my best!!

Different from the ordinary medical hall that prescribes prescriptions to people to grasp medicine and cure diseases, the methods of Renhetang Medical Center are novel and heartbreaking! The wound of the patient is sutured with threads, and the necrotic part is removed with a knife...... No wonder they want to cover it with curtains, where can ordinary people bear this kind of thing when they see it?

Chen Yuqing closed her eyes. fantasized that he would one day stand in Yang Zixi's position...... She suddenly felt a tremor from the depths of her soul.

If I could ...... too

The eldest girl and her mother lifted the curtain and entered the back room, interrupting her meditation.

"The water is boiling, wash it off early. I can't see a single bit of blood, and I'll go to Sun's house for dinner later! ”

"I'm not going. Tired. Chen Yuqing quickly stuffed the sachet into the package, tilted her head against the bedpost and replied.

"Tired of what?" Her mother poured hot water into a wooden basin. The room quickly filled with fog, "If you don't even eat the wedding wine, others should be unhappy that your sister is married." ”

"I'm not happy," Chen Yuqing sneered, "Does my mother think I should be happy?" ”

Her mother was stunned for a moment, put down the empty basin in her hand, and sighed: "Yuqing, I understand your thoughts, and I also know that you and Sun Yaoyi were good when you were a child, but when did this happen?" Where is the love before the age of ten real? A woman's family, the most important thing in life is to marry well! Your sister-in-law is not as good as you everywhere, so she will marry Sun Yaoyi, but you are different, how can you still think about the people in this small place of our Xiangfang Village? ”

"Mother, do you think Sun Yaoyi is not worthy of me?" Chen Yuqing bit her lip and said, "Do you know what kind of life I lived in the first few years when I was sold to Huaizhou?" The tooth man was reluctant to sell me directly, and took us a dry girl to train by his side, learn poetry, calligraphy and painting, learn singing and juggling, and get up every day without the rooster crowing, and only lie down and sleep on the fourth watch. Those who learned well were sold to the Qinglou prostitution hall early, and those who did not learn well were beaten every once in a while.

None of the family members ever thought about me, it was Sun Yaoyi who searched for me for half a year before he finally found me, he tried to save me several times but couldn't, and was almost killed by the tooth man! At that time, I said to myself, as long as I have the opportunity to escape from there in this life, I am destined to be his person, I don't think he is poor, I don't think he is unproductive, I don't think he has any problems! Life and death! ”

"Yes! It's not right for the mother! Her mother took out a handkerchief and wiped her unwarranted tears, "It was not easy at home back then, your sister was small and needed to be fed, and my mother and father really couldn't spare time to look at you." But isn't it boiled out now? You are now a maid in the palace, and you see high-ranking officials and nobles every day, and Xiangfang Village is no longer suitable for you. Isn't there a suitable master in the palace? Or the visiting adults? Think about it! How can you be an aunt with your appearance, right? Wouldn't it be much better to wear gold and silver, eat and drink without worry, than to marry Sun Yaoyi? Why bother thinking about the trivial things of the past? Besides, he couldn't save you after all, so it's not a life-saving grace, right? As for the pledge? ”

Chen Yuqing looked at her mother silently, and her strange eyes made her mother hairy.

"Mother thinks it's a very happy thing to be a concubine in the mansion?" Coldly, she came out with a sentence.

"Of course!" Her mother's eyebrows fluttered and she said, "I've inquired about everything!" There are thirteen aunts in the Huaizhou prefect's family, which family does not have hundreds of acres of fertile land? The five aunts and grandmothers, uncles and brothers in the General Soldier's Mansion have all made a fortune! You're from Yuwangfu! It's much higher than they started with! If you are lucky, you can climb into the bed of Prince Yu...... It seems that Prince Yu has not yet gotten married, right? If you can't get through the room, you can straighten it out, and you don't know! ”

Chen Yuqing looked at her mother like a madman, she couldn't imagine that this was said by her mother.

"What? You don't think it's enough to sell me once, and you're going to sell it a second time? ”

"How do you say that?" The eldest girl and her mother hurriedly said, "What do you mean by selling for the second time?" If you can be the aunt of the palace, even if there is a housewife on top of your head in the future, it will be one person under ten thousand people! Mother, this is all for your sake! How can I talk about selling you? ”

Chen Yuqing didn't want to listen to her mother's nonsense anymore, so she only said indifferently: "I am the old lady who is waiting in front of me, and I almost can't see the prince." ”

Her mother understood what she meant, and hurriedly said, "How can that be good?" Not! You're trying to find a way to move an errand! ”

"Mother, do you think the palace is our own home?" Chen Yuqing sneered, "You can go wherever you want?" ”

Her mother hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I don't mean that, I'm just not worth it for you!" I gave birth to you with such a good appearance, it's a pity that I was buried. ”

"Mother, you don't understand!" Chen Yuqing shook her head and said, "I am in front of the old lady, if I were in front of the master, there may be no bones left." ”

"What do you mean?" Her mother asked in surprise, "Who dares to run on the maids of the palace?" Don't you want to die! ”

Chen Yuqing looked at her quietly, not wanting to explain any more. Her mother is a vain person, and she likes to show off her rewards on weekdays, and her mother has sprinkled the money she has given to the family for the sake of face, and she has not been able to gather a single star. At this moment, I saw the benefits in my eyes, and I couldn't think of anything else.

As the 'old man' of the palace, she knows very well what happened to the swollen corpse in the well water in the backyard of the palace in the early years, and the girl who hanged herself in the stable. The palace has never been a peaceful place, there are not one or two ghosts and ghosts, and the old lady can't tolerate any fox around the prince, and all the signs are dead and scattered, leaving only a few of them to follow the old lady herself and not fall into trouble.

She has been in the palace for five years, walking on thin ice almost every day, and she has to make three detours in her head before speaking, for fear of being trapped. This kind of day is really beautiful on the face, but aggrieved behind it!

Originally, she had saved enough money today, and she was going to ask the old lady for a favor, and she redeemed herself. didn't expect to come home and encounter the marriage of the second sister, the groom was not someone else, it was Sun Yaoyi, who she promised her life......

Where else could she go? Where else can you hide away from the palace?

Her mother was still holding her hand, and her mouth was closed one by one to tell the benefits of being a concubine, but her ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear the sound. Perhaps, it was time to change her life, and she suddenly wondered if she still had a chance to get a new life in her life? (To be continued......)
