Chapter III
Cui Yuzhu and Second Mrs. Cui were in the same carriage, and Cui Yujin rode with them.
Fang was just made a fuss, temporarily put the unhappiness behind him, and secretly glanced at the scene outside, and the curious appearance was a little girl.
"Mother, you said before that women can't show their heads, why is it that it is women who sell tofu and women who sell flowers, and even those rough jobs are done by women?"
Second Mrs. Cui said: "That's a flat-headed people, who have to come out to work for a living, where can they take care of a lot?" ”
"What about the men in their family?" Cui Yuzhu asked again.
Cui Yuzhu is only fifteen after the New Year, and the aristocratic lady picks flowers and butterflies every day, drinks tea and writes poems, where do you know that the world is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, not everyone has such a good life.
Second Mrs. Cui smiled and said nothing, and the old man next to her, Mother Gui, said for her, "Men also have to work, otherwise the family will starve to death, but there are few capable men, and ordinary men can't support a family by one person alone, so there is no way for a woman to come out and show up." ”
"This ......" Cui Yuzhu frowned, and was about to say something, when there was some movement outside.
Cui Yujin knocked on the window of the car, approached the car and said, "Mother, sister, there is King Qin in front, let's avoid it." ”
Second Lady Cui's face was pale, and she just bowed her head, "Naturally, let him go first." ”
Cui Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she wanted to open the window to take a look, but as soon as her hand touched the window, the back of her hand was hit and she shrank back in pain.
Cui Yuzhu bit her lip and said unwillingly: "Mother, I want to see it." ”
"Mother is not allowed."
Cui Yuzhu's chin was raised, and stubbornness came up, "Why?" ”
Second Mrs. Cui sighed and patted her hands, "Mother is good for you." ”
Cui Yuzhu didn't know at this time that Second Mrs. Cui was indeed good for her, and she saw that her heart knot was deeper.
"Why?" Cui Yuzhu asked again.
Mother Gui hurriedly whispered, "King Qin's strength is extraordinary, but he is surrounded by evil, girl, you are weak, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it if I look at it more." ”
This statement is suspected of exaggeration, but it is not entirely false. Zhu Jingming's face looks similar to that of the saint when he was young today, his face is like a knife, his eyes are like cold stars, he looks old and serious, and he does have a majesty on his body.
He always travels with eight black-clothed guards, and he can't get close to him easily, and what Gui's mother said about "evil" actually refers to the bloody spirit of the eight guards, not Zhu Jingming himself.
Cui Yuzhu didn't believe it, and stubbornly lifted the curtain, but all she saw was the back of the guard and the horse's buttocks, and she was very disappointed when she glanced at it from a distance.
What does King Qin look like, the capital is so big, like King Han and King Wei, she has seen him once or twice, but for some reason she has never seen him in a poetry reception, and she has never heard any rumors about him in the market......
Could it be that he looks ugly and doesn't dare to see people?
All the way to Jinglian Temple, this is a nunnery, the incense is not as prosperous as the White Horse Temple, but Mrs. Cui once made a wish here to taste, since then often come to add sesame oil.
Jinglian Temple is built on Zhongshan Mountain, the location is remote, and it has a history of nearly 100 years, fortunately, the scenery along the way is very beautiful, although it is shaky on the way, it is not too sad.
The Cui family and his party planned to stay in Jinglian Temple for a day or two, but Cui Yuzhu had no opinion, and she didn't go out anyway.
Cui Yujin told her that a cuckoo had opened in the back mountain and invited her to enjoy it, but Cui Yuzhu refused to go.
Just now she met Ye Liqing, the concubine of the Hou family of Wu'an, at the front door of the main hall, they couldn't play together in the past, but just now she came straight over to greet her. The smile is beautiful, and there is no humble and cowardly appearance in the past, and there is mockery in the words, but it is impossible to refute.
Cui Yuzhu once heard that she was ordered as a side concubine by King Wei a few days ago, and she didn't despise it at that time, saying that she was a side concubine, but in fact, she was just a small one, and she had been pressed to death before she passed the door, and she had to be subservient to others in this life, what kind of coke was there.
It's good now, the people she used to look down on don't take her seriously. Anyway, her Cui family is also a scholarly family, her ancestors have had a prime minister, and the three Taifu's Ding Shi family, although this time is different from the past, but it is not the turn of a concubine to run in front of her to show off, right? Where did she get this face?
The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I couldn't hold back my tears, Cui Yuzhu didn't want to be seen as a joke, so she put aside the servants and maids who accompanied her, and hurried to the back room alone.
With something in mind, the room was almost the same, and he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Cui Yuzhu pushed open the door, and the uncontrollable tears finally broke the embankment, and she fell on a couch and sobbed.
I didn't even notice that this room was extremely dark and overgrown with weeds outside.
"What am I doing wrong? Why did a cat and a dog come to humiliate me, Ye Liqing is just a concubine, no matter how big she is in the future, she will only be the side concubine of King Wei, where did she come from to show off her power in front of me? ”
"I'm so angry, it's all my father and uncle...... Woowoo woo ......"
After crying for a long time, Cui Yuzhu felt that something was wrong, this room didn't seem to be the one she lived in, and she was immediately scared into a cold sweat after realizing it.
Don't you mess into a haunted house, right?
When he was about to leave in a hurry, Xiao Xiaobu tripped over the hem of his skirt and hit a corner of the table with a "plop".
Cui Yuzhu sighed, and found that there seemed to be a sound in the floor at a certain point, and she pressed it gently.
Unexpectedly, it seemed to have triggered the mechanism, and for a while, the sound of the old wooden iron cable sounded, clicking, and Cui Yuzhu rolled her eyes in fright.
Soon, the floor opened down, and it was Cui Yuzhu who was sitting on the ground, and Cui Yuzhu immediately rolled down into the dark and narrow tunnel, and the screams were drowned in the darkness.
Fortunately, there was a soft cushion underneath, and although she fell painfully, her life was saved.
Obviously, this is not a harmful place, otherwise it would be impossible to lay a cushion underneath, and at most it may be an escape route. This temple also has a history of more than 100 years, and I have experienced too many during this period, and I don't know which abbot built it.
Cui Yuzhu is a weak woman, there is no one to ask for help at the moment, at least a few feet high, waiting for someone to save is tantamount to a fantasy, so she has to go all the way along the passage.
The tunnel was dark, only wide enough for two people to walk, and the passage was surrounded by earth and rock, and there was no reinforcement.
She trembled and groped, regretting that she had died, why didn't she run faster, and now she fell under the ground, and she didn't know if she could see the light of day again, whether she would die or live tomorrow.
It's so miserable to pity her, even the Bodhisattva refuses to bless her!
