Chapter Seventy-Two: The Shackles of Fate

While talking, the servants came to a small fenced courtyard, only to see that there were bamboo Tingting in the courtyard, and occasionally there were a few green tower pines, raising attractive needles, reflecting the vitality. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Kou Zhun pointed to the small courtyard and said, "Oh, this is the residence of Miss Yingxia." Then he stood outside the courtyard and shouted, "Miss Yingxia, come out quickly to greet your guests." ”

Yingxia heard the shouting in the house and hurriedly ran out and said, "My lord, you are really joking, I can have any distinguished guests here." With the voice, the people had already come to the gate of the courtyard, Kou Zhun pointed to Hu Ge and Qiu Ju and said, "Miss Yingxia, aren't these two distinguished guests!" ”

Miss Yingxia was stunned for a moment, and then said overjoyed: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be Hu Ge and Qiu Ju!" Saying that, he opened the courtyard door and ran over, Hu Ge and Qiu Ju also greeted him, and they hugged each other tightly, Yingxia's tears couldn't stop flowing, and after a long time, Yingxia wiped her tears and said to Kou Zhun: "My lord, I'm really sorry, our sisters were happy to meet each other, and they made you cold, and please forgive me." ”

Kou Zhun said with a smile: "The arrival of friends is a great joy in the world, and I am happy for you." ”

Hu Ge and Qiu Ju said, "Thank you, sir, for sending us here." ”

Kou Zhun said: "It's nothing, I'm just doing some landlord friendship." Then he said to Yingxia: "Miss Yingxia, quickly invite your two sisters to sit in the house, I won't bother you anymore, you can talk about your heart." Said to Hu Ge and Qiu Ju: "The old man has taken his leave!" ”

Hu Ge and Qiu Ju hurriedly bowed and said, "Adults go slowly." ”

After Kou Zhun left, Yingxia hurriedly said, "Two sisters, let's stop standing here, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Hu Ge and Qiu Ju followed Yingxia and walked into the fence courtyard, only to see three big houses with blue bricks and red tiles standing in the courtyard, Yingxia pushed open the door in the middle and said, "Two sisters, please come in." ”

Hu Ge and Qiu Ju walked into the house, only to see that this was a large hall, and there was a landscape painting of the rising sun hanging at the door, and banners were hung on both sides. The next link wrote: Xia Ying is broad-minded. Under the landscape painting, there are four Nanmu round stools. Along the walls of the hall there is a long closet with open doors, filled with various costumes. In the center of the ground lay a Persian carpet, everything looked neat and luxurious.

Qiu Ju looked at it and smacked her tongue and said: "Tut-tut, it is true that people often say that the emperor's house, the prime minister's house, Yingxia, you are an ordinary singing and dancing girl, you live in such a gorgeous big house, I really envy me." ”

Ying Xia smiled indifferently and said, "Qiu Ju, this is nothing to envy. As he spoke, he busily brought all kinds of fruits and dried fruits. What durian, mangosteen, lychee, cashew nuts, pistachios, pine nuts, etc. are all things that Hu Ge and Qiu Ju have never seen.

Qiu Ju picked up a cashew nut and chewed it in her mouth and said, "Yingxia, you are not satisfied with such a good treatment!" If you compare it to our old lives, it's a world of difference. ”

Yingxia sat down, peeled two mangosteens and handed them to Hu Ge and Qiu Ju and sighed: "Alas, Qiu Ju, all this you see is just the surface, and you know my inner suffering." ”

Qiu Ju said blankly: "Are you not happy here, why are there still people bullying you, I think that Kou Zhun is a very amiable person." ”

Ying Xia smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's not that someone bullied me, it's just that I'm not free here." ”

Qiu Ju said disappreciably: "What's not free here, can't such a big Prime Minister's Mansion hold you." ”

Yingxia muttered: "There are some things that you want to get when you don't get them, but once you get these things, you find that you have lost your original precious things, and there will always be a sense of regret in your heart." ”

Qiu Ju said quickly: "Sister Yingxia, can you be more straightforward, don't be so profound, I don't understand." ”

Yingxia sighed heavily: "Alas, as soon as you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, it is true. The prime minister's mansion in this high-gate compound is like a big bird cage, and birds can only feel happy between heaven and earth. ”

Listening to Yingxia's words, Hu Ge thought of his situation since he got married, and said thoughtfully: "Yingxia, I didn't understand what you said before, but since I married Ding Qian, I know what is the happiness of freedom." Speaking of this, Hu Ge pondered for a moment and said: "However, I still have to advise you, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, Yingxia, let's accept our fate!" ”

Yingxia shook her head and said: "No, I will never accept my fate, sooner or later one day I will leave here and live the life I want to live, so that this life will not be in vain." ”

Qiu Ju said: "Oh, I said Yingxia girl, you are content and happy!" How nice it is to stay here, to live in such a gorgeous house, to eat and drink," he said, pointing to the closet, "and so many beautiful clothes." ”

Yingxia said: "But those are all things outside the body, what's the use!" Then there was a series of sighs.

With a sigh, Yingxia suddenly said, "Look, I have to complain to the two of you." I forgot to ask, how did you two think of getting here today? Something must be going on, right? ”

Hu Ge smiled and said, "There is indeed something." ”

Qiu Ju stood up, paced a few steps in the hall and said, "Let me tell you, the two of us really have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." I got up today to invite you to a banquet. ”

Yingxia said: "Wine banquet? Who organizes the banquet? ”

Hu Ge said: "It's the wine banquet organized by Su Cherry, she said that it's the New Year, and she called the sisters of our original performance team together for a gathering." ”

Yingxia smiled: "This cherry is really heartfelt." ”

Qiu Ju waved her hand and said, "Yes, what kind of heart can she have, doesn't she just want to show off in front of our big guys?" ”

Yingxia said: "I can't say that, I didn't understand the practices of cherry, Xia He, and willow before, but since I have been engaged in the industry of singing and dancing here, I feel the hardship in their hearts." ”

Qiu Ju said disdainfully: "What can you do, isn't it just crazy to think about money!" ”

Yingxia shook her head very painfully and said, "No, it's not just about money. Qiu Ju, think about what children from poor families like us rely on to change their fate, they have to rely on this good figure and good face given by their parents. Moreover, everyone's contribution is not only for the individual, but also bears the obligation to repay the kindness of the parents, if we only consider the personal honor and disgrace and do not make sacrifices, then, our parents, our family will be so forever tormented by poverty? Besides, what is the face of the prime minister in these years, I only learned after I came to the Prime Minister's Mansion that some officials are even more lowly and shameless. ”

Hu Ge listened and nodded repeatedly.

Qiu Ju listened to it and thought to herself, what Yingxia said made sense, take herself as an example, if she wasn't from such a family, would she know that Ding Qian was engaged to Hu Ge, and she still begged to stick to Ding Qian, and even took the initiative to dedicate herself to Ding Qian regardless of the face of the girl's family, wishful thinking that one day......

In the past, she had the impression that death was the biggest fear in life, but now she knows that living is also a fear. There are many people who do not have enough to eat, do not have enough clothes, and are hopeless about the future. She doesn't understand why people in the world are poor, rich and rich, why people have such different living experiences, no, she is not a person who sits idly by, since God does not give her a way to live, then she has to give herself a way to live.

She didn't dare to go any further, and gave a thumbs up to Yingxia and said: "Yingxia, it's really impressive for three days, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, in the past, I have always had prejudices against Cherry, Xia He and others, it seems that I was really wrong." Alas, this is all forced by life! ”

Hu Ge was born better than Yingxia and Qiu Ju, and he didn't want them to be immersed in pain all the time, so he said: "Okay, let's not always talk about these unpleasant things." Yingxia, you haven't said whether you will go to Qianchun Tower tomorrow to participate in the gathering. ”

Yingxia said: "Go, if there is no banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, I will definitely ask Lord Kou for leave to rush over." ”

Qiu Ju said: "Yingxia, does this Prime Minister's Mansion often hold banquets?" ”

Yingxia nodded and said: "Of course, now the Great Song Dynasty is a peaceful and prosperous world, what are those officials doing if they don't want to have fun, let's just say this Prime Minister's Mansion, it can really be said that there is a big banquet in three days, a small banquet in five days, and there must be singing and dancing for each banquet, otherwise why raise us singing and dancing!" ”

Qiu Ju said with emotion: "No wonder we live in such poverty, the original country's family has been ruined by the officials." ”

Yingxia said: "But no! Society is like this, and it is we, the ordinary people, who suffer at all times. ”

Hu Ge stood up and said, "It's not early, Qiu Ju, let's go back!" ”

Yingxia said: "You two sit for a while!" ”

Hu Ge shook his head understandingly and said: "No, I've stayed too long, I'm afraid the prime minister will be unhappy, after all, you are sent under the fence." ”

Yingxia groaned: "Well, okay then! I'll send you off. ”

Yingxia sent the two of them outside the gate all the time, and then reluctantly waved goodbye to Hu Ge and Qiu Ju.
