Chapter 7: Ill-fated (3)
The two manservants in front didn't have time to stop their steps, and the six people behind walked forward in unison, and at this moment the sedan chair collided directly with Li'er, and Li'er suddenly fell to the ground. The sedan chair also shook violently, and a woman's exclamation came from inside!
The crowd also exclaimed! Could it be that this little lady wants to die? Brother Zhang was even more frightened "sigh", and said in his heart: This Li'er is so strong, she really shouldn't have been abducted to Weihe County, looking at this eight-carrying sedan chair, it seems to be the family of the Ming Mansion.
He saw that the sedan chair stopped, and that Li'er hurriedly knelt on the ground, crying out for injustice! So I didn't dare to take another look, blended in with the crowd, and slipped away.
A manservant walked up to the door of the sedan chair and whispered: "Madame is frightened, a little lady passing by rushed into Madame, she claimed to be wronged, and she knelt on the ground." ”
The lady stretched out a jade hand wearing a huge ruby from the sedan chair, and the manservant hurriedly and carefully supported it, and the lady walked out of the sedan chair. When Li'er looked up, she saw that her wife was wearing a golden phoenix hairpin on her head, a pair of gold-encrusted ruby earrings were swaying, and she was wearing a crimson silk brocade dress embroidered with pink peonies. Li'er is also a woman who has seen the world, and she knows that Madame's outfit is comparable to that of a concubine in the palace. Madame's eyes were full of pity, and she looked at Li'er and whispered softly, "But does it hurt?" ”
Seeing that Mrs. had a kind face and gentle words, very much like her mother, Li'er could no longer stop her sadness, tears welled up, and sobbed and said, "How ...... Thank you, ma'am...... Concerned, the slave family did not hurt, and collided with Mrs...... It's a sin. ”
"What is your name?" What are the grievances? Can there be a form of paper? Why don't you go to the county office to cry out for grievances? Madame asked with concern.
"The slave family's surname is Xie, the name is Li'er, the Chang'an family, on the way to escape, the mother died of hunger, met the merchant Brother Zhang, was abducted by the big brother Zhang, he hurriedly pulled the slave family to Liuhong Courtyard, to resell the slave family to his mother, the slave family was helpless, saw the lady's sedan chair coming, the slave family had to hit headlong, only to meet the savior, the slave family was the first time in his life to go to this Weihe County, I really don't know where the county government is?" Li'er held back her tears and said, while turning her head to search the crowd, where is there still a figure of Brother Zhang?
"Have the abductors of Li'er escaped in the chaos?" Madame had already guessed a little, and she said, "Get up." ”
"Yes, madam, Li'er is telling the truth, and she doesn't dare to deceive Madame." Li'er kowtowed to her wife before she got up and stood up.
Madame's gentle eyes looked at Li'er's body again and again, as if admiring a beautiful picture, the woman in the picture is not as vivid as Li'er, Li'er's face is still stained with tears, her beautiful eyes are as dark as stars, Madame has always wanted a daughter, but the two daughters in her life have died one after another, isn't this child in front of her the daughter she is looking forward to in the morning and twilight?
But at the moment, she doesn't want to take Li'er as her daughter, what she urgently needs is a daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law who is willing to rejoice for her eldest son.
It turns out that this lady is the wife of Song Qinan, the county commander of Weihe County, and there are two sons in Song County, the eldest son Song Shiwen is full of poetry and books, advocating winning the world with literature and science, radiant, filial piety to his parents, and is deeply loved by his father. The second son, Song Shifu, has loved martial arts since he was a child, especially if he has made light achievements, and he likes to be drunk and lie in Fireworks Willow Lane, often not returning home at night, which makes his father angry, and his mother is worried.
Shi Fu didn't care about the alias given by his friends in the rivers and lakes, he smiled and said: "Shi Fu only recognizes the swallow husband, not the flower thief, Shi Fu never fornicates the women of good families, how can he say that the flower thief is a flower thief?" ”
At present, Mrs. Song is most worried day and night is the eldest son Song Shiwen, since Shi Wen saw Qin Yuniang, the daughter of Lord Youyushi a few months ago, he thought about it and begged his father to go to the matchmaker in person.
His father knew in his heart that the power and official positions of the two families were too different, and it was estimated that Lord Yushi would not agree, so he couldn't shirk it, and only said that the jade girl had promised to marry her husband's family.
I never thought that Shi Wen didn't think about tea and dinner, and threatened his father with a hunger strike. His father had no choice but to show an old face, prepare enough dowry, and personally go to kneel in front of Lord Yushi to ask for marriage.
At that time, Lord Yushi was taking his family to exercise the duty of observation in Weihe County, and happened to live in the Song Mansion, Song Qinan thought, Lord Yushi ate and lived in the mansion is the best supply, even if he does not agree to the marriage, he will not embarrass him.
When Lord Yushi heard this, his face was angry, and he pointed at Song Qinan and said: "The door is not right, the household is not right, my son will never marry a seven-grade family." Song Qinan lost all his face and was so embarrassed that he returned to the room and ordered Shi Wen to kneel down, beat and scold him, and then relieved his hatred.
After Lord Yushi left with his wife and daughter, Song Shiwen seemed to have lost his soul, did not eat tea and dinner, spoke little, and looked sick. Mrs. Song invited the most famous doctor in Weihe County to prescribe the medicine, but Shi Wen refused to drink the medicine, and often had to hold down several slaves to hold their hands and feet before they could pour the medicine into their stomachs.
Seeing that a few months have passed, this stone has not only not improved, but has become more and more strict, and he has become bedridden and skinny. Mrs. Song wiped her tears day and night, and went to the temple every day to worship the Bodhisattva to donate silver taels, and the monk in the temple said to her that day: "If you want to heal your son's illness, you have to marry your relatives and be happy. ”
It is said that the Song family is a big family in Weihe County, and it is not difficult to find a family business, but Shi Wen has long been terminally ill because of lovesickness, and the matter has long spread all over the radius.
So Mrs. Song was very anxious, today she was about to go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and asked Guanyin Niangniang to send a woman like a flower to save her son, but Li'er bumped into her head! Isn't that providential? What a bodhisattva apparition! My son is saved! Mrs. Song secretly thanked Guanyin Niangniang.
Li'er's background is so pitiful, and she is a foreigner, she should agree to this marriage? Mrs. Song didn't know the bottom of her heart, she looked at Li'er lovingly, which made Li'er a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Song approached Li'er, gently took her hand, and said, "Li'er is pitiful, why don't you go back to the county government with me, there is a shortage of embroidery girls in the house, and Li'er's dress is embroidered by herself?" ”
Li'er thought that she was already pregnant in her belly, and she was suffering on the road, but the child in her belly was frightened and feared, so it was better to follow her wife, eat and dress warmly, and give birth to a child in the future, and then it was not too late to find her father.
If you talk about embroidery, at that time in the Jiyin Palace, Li'er was the first, although she was wearing an old dress given by the proprietress, of course, the flowers on the skirt were not embroidered by her, but she lied and replied confidently: "It was embroidered by Li'er herself, and Li'er is willing to follow her wife to be an embroiderer." ”
Mrs. Song was overjoyed, took Li'er's hand, and was about to get on the sedan chair with her, Li'er thanked Mrs. for her kindness, and she said sensibly: "The status of Mrs. and the slave and the maid are high and low, and the slave and maid walk beside the sedan chair and follow behind." ”
Mrs. Song said unhappily: "Li'er doesn't have to be humble, even if you are an embroiderer in the house, the people in the house will not use you as a maid to instruct, come, get on the sedan chair." As he spoke, he pulled Li'er into the sedan chair again.
Li'er couldn't refuse, so she had to comply, supported her wife, and slowly got on the sedan chair, and a manservant shouted: "Get up the sedan chair!" "The group walked in the direction of the county government without hurry!
