Chapter 19: A Life of Slavery
Looking at it, most of the cousins of the same generation as Yu Zhengqi have become married, some are already fathers of several children, and the cousins of the same age as Yu Ruqing and Yu Ruhui are almost married, and they have become the oldest "sisters" in the house when they return home.
"Sister, there are a lot of people." Yu Zhengshu, who was frightened, suddenly ran over and pulled her sister's sleeve, and Aunt Xue was too excited when she returned home, leaving her son behind.
"Don't be afraid, sister will hold you." He was raised by Jian Qinse to cringe, and he was uneasy when he saw a lot of people, and he didn't have the composure that he was used to seeing big scenes.
"Hmm." Holding his sister's hand, his heart was much more settled.
The two sisters and brothers walked at the back, not arguing with others, walking in front of Yu Ruhui, who was as excited as a little bird, glanced back, and saw that the two were in deep brotherhood, she snorted disdainfully, smiled and took the hand of her brother in the same mother, as if showing off that she was favored by her brother.
Everyone's luggage and cages were left in the yard, and each sent someone to take care of it, and there were few people waiting around Yu Rusu, so they left Qingyu behind.
The others sneered a few times at this move, "The poorest person in the family is her, who will steal the things of the poor ghosts, and those who have unclean hands and feet will also target the lady or other young ladies."
What is the concubine who no one cares about, stealing her few pieces of embroidered cloth that can't be put on the table?
Waiting for Yu Chongxuan to meet his mother, the mother and son hugged their heads and cried, and said goodbye to each other and missed each other, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law reminisced about the old days, and saw each other with tears in their eyes...... After a group of people walked the salute, Yu Chongxuan and several other lords and ladies, as well as a young master and young lady all retreated, only then did someone find the Yurusu sisters and brothers who were left behind, and hurriedly pulled them forward.
"Come on, come on, this is a light snow child, right? Come closer and let Grandmother see, tsk! are all good-looking babies, like our light snow, picturesque eyebrows...... "looks really good, the eyebrows and eyes are straight, the eyes are clear, he is a child who does not make a bad child, compared to the belly of the six girls, the eyes are much more lovely, as for this small ...... Let's teach again!
However, Jian Qinse's face was a little ugly at this time, and she blamed the two of them for walking too slowly, and she forgot about them when she couldn't see them.
"The granddaughter greets her grandmother." Jade is like a blessing.
"The grandson greets his grandmother." Yu Rushu shouted after her sister.
"Good, good, good! I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I grew up, and my grandmother was happy to see it, and I came, and I took it, and my grandmother gave it. Old Madam Yu smiled red, and her teeth were not lacking.
She gave a slap of auspicious cloud-patterned emerald jade pendant, and the other was a red jade bracelet, and the two of them stepped forward with their small hands, and the old lady Yu wrapped their hands.
"Thank you, grandmother."
"Thank you, grandmother."
Yu Rushu, who looked nervous, followed her sister all the time, and he did whatever her sister did, and she said the same thing whatever her sister said. Suddenly, he felt that his sister was tall, like a mountain that could protect him, so he was more willing to be close to her and follow her closely. In Qinan County before, Aunt Xue, who was timid and afraid, had always been worried that Jian Qinse would harm her son, so she looked at her son very closely, almost never leaving, but she herself was not very literate and had no knowledge.
Yu Rusu once wanted to correct this seedling, but Aunt Xue, who treated her son as driftwood, actually didn't even guard against her own daughter, so she just stretched out her hand to ask for money and did not allow her daughter to get close to her son.
Yu Rusu, who was very frustrated, could only teach her younger brother to learn calligraphy and send a few books to her younger brother, and she couldn't do it on the side, so she waited patiently until she returned to Beijing to make plans.
And she finally waited for this day, and her brother took the initiative to get close to her.
"No thanks, no thanks, grandmother loves ...... Sigh! Nine girls, what's going on with your feet? "Is she dazzled? Seems to be quite big.
Yu Rusu, who is not afraid of people knowing, pulled up the skirt generously. "Grandmother, I have big feet, and I can walk a lot in the future."
"Hmmm! It's a blessing to be able to play, a good girl. Old Madam Yu's originally smiling face turned her head to look at Jian Qinse, and the ground sank. The third family, you didn't bind the feet of the nine girls, how are you a mother, do you think she can't marry so that she can support her for a lifetime? Explain it to me today. ”
"Uh, this...... "She really forgot about it, she never took this noisy girl to heart."......
"Do you think that's why I want to hear that?" Old Madam Yu was so angry that she threw the teacup to the ground, completely ignoring Jian Qinse's face.
Jian Qinse pursed her lips, with resentment in her eyes. "It's the daughter-in-law's fault, the daughter-in-law was negligent."
"Look at her feet have grown, can she still break her toes and shave her feet? This child has been delayed by you alive. "Who will marry a bigfoot lady in the future.
Alas! It's heart-wrenching.
"Grandmother, if you don't cut your feet, I hurt." Yu Rusu's tears swirled in her eyes, and she looked pitiful and pitiful, which was unbearable.
"Okay, don't shave your feet, don't shave your feet, grandmother feels sorry for the fruit, big feet will be big feet! At this time, I can't wrap my feet, and my feet are formed. Old Madam Yu was angry with the third daughter-in-law, thinking that she had no motherly demeanor, and that she was not a child who came out of her belly and tossed blindly, without any measure.
Next generation, next generation, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will always have a gap that cannot be crossed, but the heart of loving grandchildren and granddaughters can not be fake, Mrs. Yu is cherishing flowers and pots, because of her preference for Aunt Xue, and then cherishing a pair of children born to her.
That love from the heart can even be felt by Yu Rusu, who met for the first time, and involuntarily gave birth to admiration.
And she also knew where Aunt Xue's confidence came from at this time, all relying on the favor of the old lady jade's eccentric eyes, look at her standing behind the old lady jade at the moment, low eyebrows and smiles, looking happy, looking favored.
On the other hand, Jian Qinse was cold and angry, gritted his teeth, and his fat fingers were tightly twisted into twists because of his pampering.
As a concubine, Yuru was puzzled, why the situation changed greatly when she returned home, is the inside story not simple......
Aunt Xue's name is An Qingxue, who was also a famous family, but her ancestors were too big and participated in the rebellion of the emperor's generation and were unsuccessfully questioned, and her relatives were beheaded by men over the age of 16 to show the public, and they were exiled for 3,000 miles under the age of 16.
At that time, An Qingxue had not yet been born, and she was still in her mother's womb, and her mother had several good sisters who were heartfelt, and Mrs. Yu was one of them, and she couldn't bear to be in a cheap place and joined hands to rescue her.
But rebellion is a great crime, and it is not so easy to get out.
So the sisters discussed, and each took out some silver to buy the person, and turned from a lowly to a slave, and succumbed to slavery for the rest of his life.
