Chapter 035: Cinnabar (4)
The Jiang family is considered to be a wealthy family in the city for one day, and Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang are extremely diligent and kind. Mrs. Jiang is not in good health, and Jiang Ruan was left at the age of twenty-eight, but I don't know if it was because of the fetal gas, so that Jiang Ruan had an obvious birthmark on her face since she was born.
The woman is very good-looking, but Jiang Ruan has suffered a lot of cold eyes because of this innate birthmark. Although the Jiang family promised a rich dowry, there were few marriageable young people in the city who were willing to go to the Jiang family to propose marriage. After going around and around, Jiang Ruan finally married Xu Shaoyang. thought that he had found a good marriage, but who would have thought that what the other party was aiming for was not her Jiang Ru'an at all, but the rich dowry that her Jiang family could give.
The marriage was completed, and the dowry was given, Xu Shaoyang only pretended to be a few days before he began to look for flowers and willows outside in the name of reading. At first, in the presence of Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, he could still be more restrained, but since the death of Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, he has become unscrupulous, and he also openly sold Jiang Ru'an's dowry, and used the money from the sale to raise girls in that kind of place.
The son is a white-eyed wolf, and this mother-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Jiang Ru'an and Xu Shaoyang's children often get sick, but whenever the child is sick, when Jiang Ruan takes the money and wants to go out to find a doctor, her mother-in-law is at home crying out for heaven and earth, wanting to die or live, and she often has a heartache and a headache, and she can't get out of bed at every turn. Jiang Ruan didn't think much about it at that time, and she thought about Xu Shaoyang, so she could only be ruthless, and first used the money from selling medicine to the child to supplement her mother-in-law.
But if the child is sick, how can he do it without taking medicine? Jiang Ru'an's mother-in-law took the medicine and began to behave as a demon, accusing her of not being worthy of being a mother, not even being able to take care of such a young child, and she didn't know how to take her child to see if she was sick, and asked her if she wanted to kill their Xu family's child. In order to earn money for the child to see a doctor and buy medicine, she hid from her family to do rough work for others, and the scars on her arms were left by doing all kinds of rough work.
originally thought that her mother-in-law would see her own efforts, and Xu Shaoyang would be moved sooner or later, but she thought that she was taken for granted.
Now, she straightens her waist and is no longer willing to be a cow and a horse for the Xu family's mother and son.
When the mother and son of the Xu family were kicked out of the Jiang family, all the people in the city who could come to see the excitement came one day. Xu Shaoyang lowered his head and did not speak. Without Jiang Ru'an's support, he would have no extra money to go to Wanchun Building to find the girl he liked. Even if he went, people ignored him. He really realized the importance of Jiang Ru'an to him, but now that it was too late to regret it. Jiang Ru'an's mother-in-law is thicker than her son's skin, and she publicly cursed Jiang Ru'an in front of so many people, cursing her grandson, saying that she is ugly and saltless, even if she is a pig, she is not willing to marry her.
The more the ex-mother-in-law scolded, the straighter Jiang Ru'an's back became, and even swept the strand of hair used to cover the birthmark. A confident woman is always beautiful, and Jiang Ru'an, who holds her head high, also has an attractive brilliance.
"Master, can you erase the birthmark on Sister Ru'an's face?" Xing Ruyi tugged at the fox sleeve and asked, "Didn't her mother-in-law shout that no one wanted Sister Ru'an?" I don't believe it, without this birthmark as a burden, Sister Ruan will not be able to find a good man who is willing to take care of her and Xun'er. β
Xing Ruyi was still chattering, but the fox dipped his hand in a touch of cinnabar and bounced it towards Jiang Ru'an's face. The cinnabar covered the surface, and then it was caressed away by a gust of wind, and the birthmark that had been wrapped around Jiang Ru'an since birth was gone.
"It's a lot better, the master is really amazing." Xing Ruyi hugged the fox's arm: "Master, master, otherwise, you can help do the math and see if Sister Ru'an can meet a good man." β
"She'll meet it."
"Who's that man?"
"Heaven must not be divulged." The fox said, covering Xing Ruyi's eyes, and when he opened it again, the two had already returned to the carriage, and the carriage had already driven out of One Day City.
The sound of wheels headed towards the official road. In the carriage, Xing Ruyi lay on the fox's lap and began to doze off again. The fox looked down, squinted at her, and asked softly, "Sleepy?" β
Xing Ruyi moved slightly, and replied in a nasal voice: "Xu didn't sleep well last night, and he always dozed off today." By the way, master, where are we going next? Aren't you able to pinch it? Why can't I count the whereabouts of my father and mother? β
"Your father is in Maple City, and Maple City is the next place we are going to."
"Really? When you arrive in Fengcheng, will Ruyi be able to meet Daddy?"
"Hmm."
"Great, when I find Daddy, Ruyi will let Daddy take Ruyi to find Auntie." Xing Ruyi muttered, whispered something again, and the person fell asleep.
The fox touched her head, it was a little hot, but it wasn't a mortal fever. He stared at him, raised his hand, and injected a bundle of mana, Xing Ruyi's originally knotted eyebrows gradually stretched.
"Master, did you hear the cry?"
Xing Ruyi stretched out his arm and got up. There was a glass lamp in the carriage, but there was no sign of the fox. She rubbed her face to drive away the remaining sleep, walked to the front, and lifted the hanging curtains. The carriage was still on the official road, but it had pulled over. There was no one in the front and back, left and right, except for the glass lamp in the carriage, everywhere was pitch black.
"Master! Master, where have you been? β
Holding his hands to his mouth, he first shouted quietly, but when no one answered, he raised his voice a little.
The sound came from near and far, but there was no sound except for the faint cry.
"Alas, is there such an irresponsible master in the world? In the middle of the night, he threw his little apprentice like a flower and jade onto the official road. What if there are gangsters? What if the gangsters sell me to a place like Wanchun Tower? β
Shaking his head, he stretched out his legs, and sat in the carriage and swayed.
The woman's cry was getting closer and closer, Xing Ruyi squinted her eyes for a while, only to see a black donkey carrying a girl coming from the other side of the official road. Before the donkey could get near the carriage, the girl who was sitting on the donkey's back fell off and fell to the side of the road.
"Girl, are you alright?" Xing Ruyi jumped out of the carriage, ran over, and bent over to ask.
The woman raised her tearful face, and when she saw Xing Ruyi's appearance clearly, she was obviously stunned.
"Girl?" Xing Ruyi waved her hand in front of the woman, "Girl, are you okay?" β
The woman shook her head, "I'm fine, it's just my donkey......"
"Your donkey?" Xing Ruyi ran to the donkey and led it over: "Oh, your donkey is still there." β
Seeing the donkey, the woman quickly got up and put her hand around the donkey's neck, and the tears that had been stopped with great difficulty began to flood again.
"Have you lost your donkey, what are you crying about in the middle of the night?"
"I'm crying for myself." The woman choked up and said, "I feel sad, but I don't know what to do, I can only cry." β
"Crying can't solve any problems, otherwise, you tell me, why are you sad in your heart, even if I can't help you, I can listen to you and talk, so that you feel comfortable and comfortable." Xing Ru saw that she didn't let go of her arms around the donkey, so she asked again: "Do you have a good relationship with your donkey?" β
"He's not a donkey, he's Aliang, and he's someone I like." The woman cried more and more sadly: "He...... He wasn't originally a donkey's. β
After a brief inquiry, Xing Ruyi learned that the girl who was crying on a donkey in the middle of the night was called Fang Miaomiao, who was from Fangjiazhuang in front of her. Fang Miaomiao is the only daughter of the Fang family, but Ah Liang is the son of a long-term worker who works as a domestic servant in the Fang family. The story is very clichΓ©, Changgong's son fell in love with the master's young lady, and the master's young lady also fell in love with Changgong's son, but Fang Miaomiao's father and mother were unwilling. In order to be with her sweetheart, Fang Miaomiao decided to elope with Ah Liang, but the news leaked, and the two of them were arrested before they ran far. Fang Miaomiao's father and mother were furious, so they asked a mage who lived in Zhuangzi to turn Ah Liang into a donkey, and let him work in Fang's house day and night. Fang Miaomiao originally thought that when her father's anger subsided, she would let the mage turn Ah Liang back. For the sake of Ah Liang, she even agreed to another family matter that her father and mother told her against her will.
"Since you have agreed to get married, why did you escape from Fangjiazhuang with Ah Liang?"
There is no softness on the body, no baggage, and at first glance, it is a temporary idea, and he escaped from Fangjiazhuang regardless of it.
"My father and mother promised me that as long as I agreed to the family affair, they would ask the mage to turn Ah Liang back. Behold...... In the evening, I passed by my father's room and overheard what they were discussing. My father and mother said that after I got married, I would have Ah Liang slaughtered. They said that Ah Liang had lost weight and could no longer work, so instead of wasting food, it was better to kill the donkey and boil it into donkey glue, and the donkey meat into buns, and all the rest into fertilizer and sprinkle it on the field. I know the nature of my father and mother, and once they make up their minds, it is very difficult to change. I couldn't think of a better way, so I could only take Ah Liang out of the donkey shed while my father and mother were asleep. β
"And what about the future? What are you going to do in the future? β
"I don't know." Fang Miaomiao sobbed, and her eyes turned red again: "If Ah Liang is not a donkey, he must know what to do." But now, he can't speak, and even after dark, he can't take care of me and protect me. I was so scared, but I didn't dare to bring him back to Zhuangzi. The more I thought about it, the more pitiful I felt, I felt pitiful, Ah Liang was pitiful, and I couldn't help crying. β
"Spells? My master would have done the same, but now my master is gone. Xing Ruyi spread his hands: "Otherwise, don't run around on a donkey." Tonight, let's rest here in peace, and when tomorrow dawn, my master will come back, and I beg him to see if he can turn your Ah Liang back. β
"Okay." Fang Miaomiao wiped away her tears, led the donkey to the carriage, and sat down next to the donkey.
