Chapter 1013: The Women Who Shouldn't Have Appeared (4)
Shen said gratefully with tears: "Zheng Huchen was very angry when he saw that the slaves and maids were unwilling to leave, so he sent people to drive them away with sticks, and when the slaves and maids were driven out of the three miles away, no one paid attention to them, and immediately there were local scoundrels who came up to tease them, and the slaves and maids fell into a desperate situation, just waiting to be snatched away and ruined, and then they either died or sold into the dust." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Cheng Yue frowned and shook his head helplessly. In the troubled times, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can only go with the flow like a wanderer, without the slightest ability to protect herself. Although they are weak, I can't blame them.
Shen continued: "Just as the slaves and maids were about to accept their fate, a group of heroes arrived in time to disperse the scoundrels and save us. β
Cheng Yue immediately looked up at Lao Du and the others, and said appreciatively: "Did you save it?" β
Lao Du hurriedly stood up and said, "Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, at that time, the servants were ordered by the mother to save the ladies and bring them back. β
Cheng Yue smiled when he heard the word "Niangniang", Tang Anan hurriedly got up and said: "The concubine doesn't dare to be called Niangniang, she has already instructed her many times, it is definitely not intentional, please forgive the Metropolitan Governor." β
Cheng Yue smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." Then he said, "Since you have come forward, let you tell me about the things before and after." β
Tang An'an said respectfully: "Yes, Grand Governor." When the concubine left Lin'an, the palace specially allowed the concubine to take a few people to wait by her side, and by the way, she could also protect the concubine from being disturbed by others. Lao Du and the sixteen of them are all confidants of the concubine in the palace, and they have been serving the concubine by the grace of the first emperor. So the concubine consulted with them to see who would go with the concubine. Unexpectedly, sixteen of them were willing to follow the concubine, so the concubine asked the palace for instructions and took them out of Lin'an. β
Cheng Yue nodded and sighed: "You can't accommodate yourself in the palace, they are your henchmen, and they have no future in the palace, and they will be suppressed by others, so it is better to leave with you, so you don't have to look at other people's faces." In addition, I think they are also loyal and brave people, and you have done a good job in this. β
Tang An'an said gratefully: "Thank you for the compliment." After the concubine left Lin'an, she didn't know where to go for a while, and after discussing with Lao Du, she went to Suzhou to live first. Suzhou is prosperous, businessmen gather, and the concubine took some capital to do some business for Lao Du, but it can be maintained. The concubine also thought about finding someone to rely on, but the concubine didn't dare to let others know her identity, for fear of causing trouble, so she has been living in seclusion all these years and easily not seeing outsiders. β
Cheng Yue smiled approvingly: "You are also smart." He said to Lao Du again: "Lao Du, I am impressed with you!" Lao Du was proud and grateful, and puffed up his chest vigorously.
Tang An'an is indeed very smart, if she still shows up like before, she will soon be targeted by people with ill intentions, how can these dozen people around her have the power to protect themselves? Peerless beauty, huge wealth, surrounded by wolves, Tang An'an will never be finished with personal wealth!
Tang Anan smiled brightly, and continued: "Later, Jia Nidao took power and fought with Mongolia for many years, the Yuan soldiers continued to invade the south, and the Great Song Dynasty was defeated, and Jia Nidao was also belittled. The concubine discussed with everyone again, and decided that the Yuan soldiers would soon go south to attack Lin'an, and they needed to avoid the war. So the concubine went all the way south, entered Fujian, and looked for a good hiding place everywhere. I don't know if it's fate, the concubine was in Jianning at the time, and I happened to hear that Jia Rudao was escorted to Jianning. The concubine deliberately avoided it, but soon heard that Zheng Huchen, who was escorting Jia Nidao, dispersed Jia Nidao's concubines and took away their belongings and distributed them to the people. β
Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "I hate it too much." β
Tang Anan's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, Zheng Huchen is too ruthless." When the concubine heard the news, she was shocked and frightened, worried that they would be in the dust, so she immediately asked Lao Du to lead someone to rescue her, but fortunately it was finally in time. β
Cheng Yue nodded and exclaimed: "You really did a good deed, otherwise...... Alas. β
Tang An'an was even happier when he received Cheng Yue's praise, and said, "Thank you for the praise of the Metropolitan Governor, the concubine is just unbearable." β
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "You were just a young woman when you left Lin'an, and it is not easy to survive in the troubled times until now, and you can still save so many lives." It seems that you are no longer the ignorant singer you were back then. β
Tang An'an's face flushed, and he saluted: "The concubine entered the palace when she was a child, and no one has ever taught the concubine how to behave in a way, but after leaving the palace, many things have been understood, fortunately, the concubine has never done evil, everything in the family is rewarded by the official, at most wearing a luxury charge, it is also carried away when she is naΓ―ve, and it is definitely not intentional by the concubine." β
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Then where did your knowledge come from?" β
Tang An'an perked up and said: "Because the concubine is not good at making friends with people casually, she takes reading as a pleasure. Over the years, I don't know how many books I have read, as long as I can collect them, the concubine will read everything. The things mentioned in the examination paper about the southern countries are roughly derived from this. In addition, in order to relieve the boredom of the concubine, Lao Du often told the concubine some new things outside, and the concubine learned some news. β
Cheng Yue smiled: "So that's the case, it's really good to read more." β
Tang An'an smiled and said, "The concubine body of the metropolitan governor has also read all of them, otherwise how dare the concubine come to the exam?" β
Cheng Yue smiled: "It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into it." But what I can't figure out is that you are obviously doing well, why did you suddenly come out to participate in the women's imperial examination? Do you want to be an official? β
Tang An'an shook his head, sighed lightly, and said, "The Governor of the Metropolitan is just right, and the concubine also wants to talk about this matter." β
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "Oh? There seemed to be a flash of lightning in his eyes.
Tang Anan groaned: "The concubine participated in the imperial examination this time, but it was not for the concubine herself. It's for the sake of the younger sisters. β
Cheng Yue smiled: "How do you say this? β
Tang An'an sighed faintly, and said softly: "The concubine's life is zero, probably the life of the concubine, but the sisters of the concubine are all in the prime of life, and there is nothing wrong, why should you be as lonely as the concubine?" But they are not ordinary women, Jia Nidao's sins are irrefutable, as Jia Nidao's concubines, no matter who they marry, they will have to bear infamy for the rest of their lives, and it is difficult to raise their heads, if the husband's family suffers an incident, it will definitely be on their heads again, and they can't hide, but are these their sins? Concubines think about it, there is only a metropolitan governor in the world, who can let them have a decent support, whether they are slaves or maids, it is better than being in all directions and being tortured. β
