In the long pavilion, the breeze gusted and there was a rustling sound.

Su Lu sat on the brocade couch and looked at the breeze and bright moon with his head bowed.

"You grew up in Quang Nam?"

The breeze and the moon should be respectful.

Su Lu continued to ask: "What do you think of Quang Nam, how is the life of the family, the life of the neighbors, how is the life?" ”

Qingfeng suddenly raised his head, and a trace of anger flashed on his cheeks: "Lord Wang, you are the dignified king of Anguo, the big man who commands the northern and southern armies, don't you know what Guangnan is like?" ”

"In order to survive, my father and mother could only sell me, and the family that bought me provoked the cousin of the concubine of Zhixian County, and was destroyed by the government, and I was resold to Qinglou, and I went to Ruyifang, and became what I am today."

Su Lu sighed, the imperial court is beyond the reach of the border town, and the magistrate has lost control, so he is naturally the king of the mountain. It is not unreasonable for the old saying that the county order that breaks the family and the order Yin who destroys the door is not unreasonable.

Su Lu looked at Mingyue: "What about you?" ”

Mingyue's cheeks were full of calm: "My family is to blame, my father ate Fushou ointment and owed Qi people a lot of debts, so he naturally sold me to pay off the debt, and I went to Ruyi Fang." ”

Fushou ointment?

Su Lu looked at Mingyue: "What Fushou ointment?" Why is Qi people involved? Qi people, is there a big force in Quang Nam? ”

Qingfeng's voice became sharp: "What Fushou ointment?" As the dignified King of Anguo, the Governor of Xiting, and the former General of the Northern Territory, you don't even know Fushou Ointment?

You don't need to pretend to be a good person in front of us slaves and maids, and we won't have a good impression of you officials. ”

Su Lu clapped his hands, and four or five guards appeared, surrounding Qingfeng Mingyue.

"Take the breeze away, let her calm down, if she can't calm down, where did she come from, let her go back there."

Qingfeng glared at Su Lu viciously, without any fear at all, but said coldly: "You officials, you are really angry." ”

Su Lu waved his hand, and Qingfeng was taken down by a few guards.

Su Lu continued to ask Mingyue: "Mingyue, you tell me about your experience when you were a child, I grew up in Xuanfu since I was a child, and I don't know much about Guangnan, so I have no way of knowing what your life is like." ”

Mingyue's head was lowered, and her voice was crisp: "Wang Ye Mingjian, Mingyue grew up in Guangnan since she was a child, and since she can remember, her family has four acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry fields. ”

"I remember that it was the ninth year of the first emperor, and Qi people suddenly appeared in the town, and the Fushou Paste Hall also began to appear. At first, my family didn't have the money to buy that thing, so I planted some vegetables in the field and sold them in the market, and the money I got in exchange was only enough to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which had nothing to do with my family. ”

"The first person in our village to eat Fushou ointment is Erliangzi in the east of the village, his family time is better, his father and mother are there, Erliangzi's family is also living well, and then something happened, Erliangzi's mother died, Erliangzi somehow, began to eat Fushou ointment."

"The original brick courtyard is dilapidated, everything that can be sold at home has been sold, and every day a few ruffians come to Erliangzi's house to ask for money, ask for money, and slowly, Erliangzi's family is completely empty."

"Slowly, more and more people in the village eat Fushou ointment, the first time my father ate Fushou ointment, I don't remember when, I only remember that the number of quarrels between my father and mother began to increase, and the paddy fields and dry fields at home, one acre after another, are gone."

"There are ruffians in the house who want money, or those ruffians who go to Erliangzi's house to ask for money, they block the door of my house and force them to take the money, otherwise they will demolish my house."

"The first one to be sold was the eldest sister, the day the eldest sister was taken away, the sky was lightning and thunder, because the family was poor, I and the eldest sister and the younger brother have not eaten for many days, the eldest sister shouted hungry that day, the younger brother braved the rain to go to the creek to catch fish, and said that he would come back and boil fish soup for the eldest sister and me to eat."

"I was going to go with my younger brother, but my younger brother didn't let me, saying that the woman's body is weak and can't be rained, and she can't be cured if she feels the cold, and the boy is angry and it's okay."

"Before the younger brother came back from catching fish, the eldest sister was dragged away by the ruffians, I chased me out of the door, and was kicked by a ruffian named Three Lepers, lying in the mud, I watched the eldest sister being stuffed into the gray carriage by them, along the muddy road in the village, and left."

"When the younger brother came back with the fish, the whole person was like a clay man, the whole body was soaked, and the cold teeth were shaking, I started a fire, cried to warm the younger brother's body, and wiped the younger brother's hair with the rotten bag of clothes left by the eldest sister."

"My younger brother asked me what about my eldest sister, and I didn't know what to say, I just cried. My father was as thin as a bone shelf because of eating Fushou ointment, and he said that the eldest sister sold it and got five taels of silver, and returned four taels or five dollars for the Fushou ointment restaurant in the town, and the rest could let him eat Fushou ointment once. ”

"The little brother went straight away, I braved the heavy rain, ran five miles, begged Dr. Huang of Beiling Village to prescribe some medicine, took it back and boiled it for the little brother to drink, after the little brother woke up, he was like a changed person, sitting in the yard all day long watching the sky."

"I remember that day was a day when the flowers were blooming, and the younger brother told me that he was going to find the eldest sister back, and he was going to find the eldest sister when he went to the edge of the sky. I prepared a tattered bag for him, wrapped a few clothes, and stole a penny of silver that my father had secretly hidden at the foot of the bed, and secretly stuffed it in his bag for him to use on the road. ”

"On the third day of my brother's departure, the group of ruffians from the three lepers came to my house again, and it was still the gray carriage, and the ruffian in the lead was called Zhuzi, and the pillar said to me, "My father decided to sell me because I stole his money."

"The eldest sister was sold, the younger brother left, I didn't have anything to be nostalgic for this family, so I sold it. They didn't pull with the pillars, I got into the carriage myself, and obeyed them, and did whatever I was told to do. ”

"I didn't expect that because I was obedient, I was hit by the people who bought people in Ruyifang, and bought me directly, and since then, I have lived a better life than at home, you say ridiculous?"

Mingyue's cheeks were full of tears, and she looked at Su Lu and asked.

Su Lu leaned back to the brocade couch and thought of that era of many disasters and difficulties, the same invasion of foreign enemies, the same blessing and longevity everywhere, the people were not happy, corrupt officials were rampant, and the country would not be a country.

"Where's your mother?"

The mud next to him asked, his face also full of tears.

Mingyue suddenly looked at the mud and smiled, like a lotus flower swaying in the rain: "Of course it's sold, it's hard to be well offered." ”

Mud clenched his fists.

Several of the guards also clenched their fists, and their eyes were also full of tears.

Su Yun picked up Mingyue and comforted her:

"Don't blame my brother for this, when you and Qingfeng were sold, my brother and I were still farming in Xuanfu to survive. If it weren't for the Thule army three years ago, my brother would not have entered the army, and he would not have met His Majesty today and become the current king of Anguo. ”

"When we were young, although the Northland was also chaotic, we were able to eat a full stomach, and compared with you, our life was better."

"But Mingyue, don't worry, just now Lord Zhou Yuan of Anton has already come to see my brother, and told my brother about the situation in Guangnan, and my brother will definitely start to rectify Guangnan."

Mingyue looked at Su Lu in surprise: "You are the king of Anguo, the king of the imperial court, and three years ago, you were still a common person like me?" Impossible, impossible! ”

Mud opened his mouth and said: "Sister Mingyue, my family is from Suozibao, three years ago I was still farming in Suozibao, and when I followed the prince, he was only an lieutenant, not even a lieutenant." ”

Among the guards, Da Hao said: "I followed the prince is the first batch, my family Erhao bandits died, I took the lack of Erhao, followed the prince three years ago, at that time, the prince just met His Majesty, still a battalion captain, and there were only 200 sergeants under his command. ”
