Chapter 271: How about the mother-in-law that Uncle Fan chose for you? (Chapter 2 for the Maple Grove Evening Flute)
Miko followed her companion onto Akito's ship, which she didn't know its destination. But she knew that she had been sold to Akito by the head of the family.
In the days to come, you have to look at the face of the Ming man, even if he is killed by the Ming people, he is unlucky.
The last time she escaped from a rain of arrows from a group of Ming cavalry, she followed the old samurai of her clan to the city.
It's less safe here than at home, and a fire nearly burned her to death. Lucky enough to escape, she was sent to a courtyard to be cleaned and dressed, at least she put on the new clothes she dreamed of, and ate rice balls that could fill her stomach.
Even when the family was in good times, Miko didn't have to worry about food and clothing like she does now. The only thing that bothers Miko is that he has to learn simple Chinese.
The punishment for not being able to learn is to punish the meal, and for Miko, who is often hungry, there is nothing more terrible than being hungry.
Miko studied hard every day, and five days later she was among the first to set foot on Akito's ship. She didn't worry about where the ship would come, as long as she could be fed, it didn't matter where she went.
Her little husband died on the battlefield outside the city, and I heard that he was hit by a big barrel and his bones were gone.
I have no worries in the Japanese country, maybe it is also a good destination to be a servant girl for the Ming master. At least she doesn't have to worry about starving in the future, working hard during the day and not getting enough sleep at night.
The three-day sea trip made Miko very uncomfortable, seasick and vomiting, and if it wasn't for the sea ship docking, she didn't know if she would die at sea.
As soon as she got off the boat, she and her group were sent to the open field, where they were picked up like cattle. Miko is terrified, and if she is picked up by a grumpy Akito, she doesn't know what kind of life she wants to live.
Miko's fears still happened, she was taken by a veteran with several scars on her face and a broken leg.
Following behind the veteran, Miko was very worried. This veteran seems to know every Ming person, and many Ming people talk to the veteran along the way. Although she doesn't know much Chinese, she can tell that the veterans are very popular here.
"Okay! Lao Fan, can you do it with such a small widow? In the future, when a big fat boy is born, don't forget to invite our old brother to drink! A passer-by said.
I only heard the old soldier laugh and scold: "Get out!" How old is Lao Tzu, and can he still give birth to a big fat boy? This is for my little four, whether my old fan can hold his grandson depends on that kid! This time, you have to leave Lao Tzu with a seed before leaving, otherwise Lao Tzu will break his legs! ”
Miko didn't fully understand their conversation, but she still understood when she gave birth. Peeking at the short-legged veteran walking in front, Miko suddenly felt that it was not bad to follow him.
At least this person's temper is not as bad as his appearance, and he is also highly respected here, although he is a little older, but he is a servant girl with no name, and he has nothing to choose.
They came to a spacious mansion, and the four spacious and bright wooden houses were not enough for Miko's eyes.
She followed the veteran to the kitchen where she was cooking, and was speechless when she saw the jar full of grain and the granary behind it.
In her impression, the richest samurai lord in the village did not have so much food. The mountains of grain only exist in Miko's dreams, and now she seems to be living in her dreams.
That night, Miko nervously ate at the same table with the veteran, who was kind to her and kept serving her food, and Miko decided that no matter what happened in the future, she would not leave the house.
At night, Miko lay on the bed a little nervously alone, ready to wait for the veteran to enter. She couldn't hold on until midnight and fell asleep alone.
Miko slept very sweetly this night, it was the best sleep she had in her fourteen years. When she woke up, the sun had already risen.
Miko was so scared that she didn't get up until she slept until then, and she used to be beaten by her husband. It is also an unforgivable act to be pointed at and scolded by the women of the village, and to get up later than her husband.
Miko got up in a panic, put on her clothes and ran out of the room. Seeing that the veteran got up early and was making breakfast in the kitchen, Miko ran over and kept bowing and apologizing: "Enough for the door!" Enough for the door! ”
The veteran didn't understand what she was saying, but he didn't blame Miko either. Said to Miko: "Girl! Go to the house and wait for dinner, and it will be right away! ”
Miko was at the veteran's house for five days and had nothing to do other than clean the room and cook every day. The veteran was very busy, except for taking her to familiarize herself with the surrounding environment on the first day, and taking her to see their family's 300 acres of land. is busy going out early and returning late every day, and what makes Miko always worry is that the veteran never goes to her room at night.
When Miko saw the Ryukyus toiling in the fields, she realized that she would not use herself for such a job. Her daily leisurely life has always made Miko think that she is living in a dream, and she often thinks that if it is really a dream, it is better to never wake up.
Today, Miko was busy cooking dinner again, and there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door. Miko ran all the way from the kitchen to open the door, her little feet stepping on the clogs "Click!" Click! "There was a crisp sound on the stone slabs in the yard.
When the courtyard door opened, Miko was stunned, and there was a young man in his twenties standing outside the door.
The young man was tall and tall, and he looked heroic and extraordinary in a Ming military uniform. He was carrying chicken, duck, fish, and a packet of brown sugar.
Brown sugar! This is something that only the most powerful samurai lords can enjoy, who is this young man? Seeing that the young man was carrying an iron cannon behind his back and a short sword hanging from his waist, he must be a samurai master of the Ming people. He won't be......
Just when Miko was stunned, the young man outside the door was also stunned. Then he said, "I'm sorry! I went to the wrong door! After saying that, he turned around and left.
As soon as the young man turned around, he was kicked back, and a loud voice scolded: "Bastard! Where do you go when you get to your home? ”
When Miko heard this voice, her worried heart relaxed. She said in Chinese, which she was not yet proficient in, "Welcome home!" At the same time, he bowed deeply to Fan Kuan outside the door.
Meizi's contact with Fan Kuan in the past few days, although it is still a little difficult to speak Chinese. But there was no problem in listening, and when she heard Fan Kuan's words, she began to sneak a look at the young man who entered the door with her eyes.
Fan Kuan took the things in the young man's hand and walked into the kitchen, and said to Meizi: "Make a few more dishes today, how many drinks do we want to drink?" ”
"Hey!" Miko said yes and continued to get busy.
For dinner, the three of them sat down to eat together, and Fan Kuan was not as particular as others. He thinks that it is lively when the family eats together, and it is a sign of incompetence to put his wife and children aside and let them eat leftovers during the meal.
"Little four! How about looking at the mother-in-law that Uncle Fan chose for you? ”
