Chapter 308: Deciding to join the army
Speaking of this, Yucui couldn't help but pause!
"He said that I am a cheap girl, and that my mother will never be able to give birth to a little brother with me, and that selling me is something that my mother agrees to, and if I don't obediently go with the person who bought me, he will beat me to death! I didn't cry anymore when I heard what he said, but I ran away while they weren't paying attention, I thought I wouldn't go with the person who bought me anyway, in the process of running I almost hit a carriage, the person in the carriage was Gonggong Jiang in the palace, he saw that I was pitiful and paid to buy me, and brought me back to the palace, from the time I arrived at the palace with Gonggong Jiang, I told myself that I had no parents, and my future relatives were only Gonggong Jiang, and I recognized Gonggong Jiang as my father-in-law, from three to fifteen years old, It was he who gave me a lot of care, and not long after my fifteenth birthday, my father-in-law Jiang also died, and at that time I felt that I was an orphan in this world......" Yucui couldn't say any more, and tears kept falling on the placket of her clothes.
"No, no, I don't know about you being sold by your father, I came back from Tian Shili and heard your father say that you went to the market with him and got lost, I took Yulian to the market to look for you for several days and didn't find it, because you lost me I cry every day, almost crying blind, my poor daughter......" Pi Shi looked at Yucui and couldn't help crying loudly.
Yucui left Zhang Youtao's arms and stood up, she looked at Pi Shi and said coldly: "You and Pi Dashan are husband and wife, you don't know who he is, you can believe what he said, if I guessed correctly, after he sold me, he must have bought a lot of wine to gamble in the gambling house, have you never thought about where his money comes from?" ”
Faced with Yucui's heavy torture, Pi Shi sat on the ground speechless.
Yes, during that period of time, Pi Dashan and a group of fox friends and dog friends spent all day drinking, and they were extremely generous, why didn't they think that he actually sold his daughter, because of his weakness, the eldest daughter was separated from his own flesh and blood, and the second daughter almost lost her life, she really didn't deserve to be a mother!
"Okay, okay, auntie, Yucui, don't blame yourself in one case, this is all the lack of virtue done by that pig and dog who is not as good as Pi Dashan, I want to know that he is so inhumane, I should have killed him at that time!" Zhang Youtao gritted her teeth and said.
"Auntie, hurry up, Yucui has suffered a lot for so many years, she can't turn around for a while, let's give her a period of time, Yulian still needs your care, let's go see her!" Zhang Youtao gently picked up Pi Shi and walked out of the door together.
She hadn't gone far before she whispered to a maid: "You are watching her outside Yucui's door, if there is something wrong with her, you can call us quickly!" Yahuan looked at Zhang Youtao and nodded.
When they returned to Yulian, they found that Yulian was already very hot, and the maid who was waiting for her kept changing her cold water handkerchief but it didn't seem to be useful, Erniu looked at Yulian with a flushed face and was anxious to turn around on the ground, and when he saw Zhang Youtao, it was like seeing a savior.
"Miss Guiren, Yulian still has a fever, what should I do?"
"Don't worry, go and ask Xiao Er to bring a bottle of strong liquor first, remember that the stronger the better!" Zhang Youtao looked at Erniu and ordered.
After Erniu quickly brought the wine to the ground, she asked Erniu to retreat and guard the door, and she and Yahuan took off Yulian's clothes, wanting to use spirits to wipe Yulian's body and cool down. When they took off Yulian's clothes, they were dumbfounded, it turned out that there was almost no good place for Yulian below the neck, so in desperation, they put Yulian's clothes on again, and then wiped Yulian's forehead and neck with cotton dipped in spirits.
After they rubbed it several times, they felt that Yulian's body temperature seemed to have dropped somewhat, and at this time, Erniu brought the decocted medicine in, Zhang Youtao supported Yulian, Yahuan fed Yulian medicine, and after all the medicine was fed, Yulian fell asleep, Zhang Youtao gently put him down and asked Yahuan to take care of Yulian and then retreated with Erniu.
Under Zhang Youtao's signal, Erniu came to the room of the six princes with Zhang Youtao, and the six princes were also worried about Yulian's condition, but because men and women were different, they could only listen to the news in their own rooms.
"How's it going, is Miss Yulian better?" The sixth prince looked at Zhang Youtao and asked.
"She just fell asleep after drinking the medicine, if she can get rid of the fever tonight, she will be fine!"
"This is Erniu, the young offspring we rescued from the bamboo cage!" Zhang Youtao introduced to the six princes.
"Yes, his body is very strong, and he treats his sweetheart with affection and righteousness, he is a man!" The sixth prince looked at Erniu and nodded.
The sixth prince was very impressed by Erniu holding Yulian and roaring loudly at the innkeeper, and in his opinion, as a man, he should protect his woman wholeheartedly, so the sixth prince appreciated a man like Erniu from the heart.
"Your Highness has raised the villain, Erniu is a waste, and he can't even protect his beloved, so Yulian has suffered so much!" Erniu said this, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden!
"Erniu, I want to know how you and Yulian got together, if you don't mind, can you talk to me?" Zhang Youtao's eyes were very curious.
"Miss Guiren, I was originally a slave of Master Ma who did chores, because my parents died when I was twelve years old, and my relatives had no one to take in, so I had to sell myself to Master Ma to be a miscellaneous slave, Yulian was bought by Master Ma to give his son Chongxi, that Master Ma was sick since he was a child, Yulian died within three days of marriage, Master Ma was angry with Yulian because of the death of his only son, thinking that she did not play the role of Chongxi but killed his son and abused Yulian in every way, Yulian is often beaten and scolded, and she has to work non-stop and often has no food, the villain looks really pitiful when she looks hungry, so she often saves her own rations to let Yulian fill her hunger, so we are slowly together! Speaking of which, Erniu's face turned slightly red.
"It is indeed a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, when Yulian's body is healed, this king will hold a wedding for you!" After hearing this, the sixth prince said to Erniu with a straight face.
"Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, the old woman has something to say, I don't know if she can come in?" Pi Shi, who had been standing outside the door, couldn't help but be anxious after listening to the words of the six princes. She stopped at the door of the Sixth Prince at the signal of Zhang Youtao just now, and when she heard that the Sixth Prince was going to do family affairs for Yulian and Erniu, she finally stood at the door anxiously and spoke.
"It's the old lady, come in and talk!" The sixth prince glanced at Zhang Youtao, then looked at the door, and said loudly.
After the Pi family came in, he gave the six princes a salute, and then looked at Erniu and said, "Your Highness, the old woman is unwilling to marry Yulian to him. Yulian suffered in Mafu thanks to Erniu, a descendant who secretly protected each other, I have been grateful for this kindness all my life, but I can't let Yulian marry her, there is a way to marry a Han and marry a Han to dress and eat, this offspring can't even support herself now, how can I support my daughter if I marry her? I can't let my daughter go my way again, please forgive your highness! With that, the Pi clan bowed deeply to the six princes.
Now the sixth prince is in a hurry, he has never lacked food and clothing in the palace since he was a child, so he has no personal experience of the suffering of the people running around for a living, so it is difficult for him to really understand what Pi said.
"Old lady, don't worry, I can give Erniu a sum of money so that he and Yulian can live a good life!"
"Haven't you heard of sitting on the mountain, you can give Erniu a sum of money, but the day when the money is not spent, Erniu will only do some rough work, if he is allowed to make a living, with his talents, he can only find another rough job, it is good to do this kind of work, he can't be hungry, can he support his family and raise children?" Zhang Youtao suddenly spoke, she didn't save face for the six princes at all.
"It seems that no matter how hard he endures, he is the emperor's son after all, and his thoughts about people's livelihood and suffering are always so simple!" Zhang Youtao looked at the six princes and thought secretly.
The handsome face of the sixth prince suddenly turned red, and he was speechless for a while!
"The Sixth Prince, Miss She is right, now I am not qualified to marry Yulian at all, and I don't blame the old lady for objecting, the little one will not be able to write or martial arts, and will only chop wood and carry water and other hard work, if this is the case, even if Yulian marries me, I will not have a good life, I only hope that the Six Princes can give me a chance to get out of the way, as long as I am named a way, since it is difficult I will persevere, and when I really go out of the ground, I will carry the sedan chair to marry Yulian!" Er Niu knelt down in front of the six princes, his face full of pleading.
"If you really think so, I'll show you a way, we are going to the border of the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Liaobei Kingdom to send the Yucui girl to marry General Yuan on the border, you also know that the border is a bitter cold place, so many soldiers are not willing to endure hardships at the border even if they have good food and salary, and they want to go back to the capital, if you are willing to be a soldier under General Yuan, I think General Yuan will definitely be very happy, I can also help you talk to him, I don't know if you are willing to do it?" Zhang Youtao looked at Erniu and said very seriously.
"The villain is willing to serve under General Yuan, thank you for the reminder, but I want Mrs. Pi to say a word, I can't match Yulian to others at will when I have not made a contribution, of course, I will not delay Yulian for too long, if I achieve nothing within three years, then Yulian will marry whoever she wants, I will definitely not be entangled in resentment!" As he spoke, Erniu looked at Pi's eyes.
"Auntie, since Erniu has said everything here, you can agree to come down, I and the six princes will testify for your mother and daughter, and when Yulian is well, if you don't dislike it, follow me, if this kid doesn't achieve anything after three years, I will make the decision to find a good family for Yulian to marry, do you think it's okay?"
