Chapter 4 Tile Kiln
On the third day of Yao's execution, Yao Hei'er saw her husband Du Xin, who had not entered her room for a long time, and walked in with a smile on his face.
Yao Hei'er, who was immersed in great grief, looked at her husband with a smug look at the corners of her mouth in surprise, neither crying nor laughing.
Du Xin desperately restrained the smugness on his face, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Yao Hei'er, and said flatly: "You are literate and hyphenated, read it carefully, clean up the things that should be packed, and move out tomorrow." ”
Yao Hei'er took the paper with a blank face, and when she looked at it carefully, she saw two huge characters on the far right - Hugh Shu.
Dusin is also a person who does not like to read, and his writing is crooked, like a spring worm and an autumn snake; The content is also simple and straightforward: there is a wife Yao, who has no children for many years after marriage, cannot inherit the incense for the Du family, and has a bad character. This is a resignation. In the future, let him remarry, and there will be no dispute. Written by: Dusing.
In the past few days, Yao Hei'er, who was crying in the dark because her father and brother were beheaded and her mother and sister-in-law were missing, didn't understand for a while, and asked with a blank face: "Master, are you going to divorce me?" ”
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Dusin's face, he picked up the tea cup that the girls had just brought on the table, gently scraped the tea leaves on the water surface with the lid, smiled slightly, and said contemptuously: "They all say that you are the most knowledgeable, don't you even understand this?" Your father committed such a heinous crime, why are you still in my house? Today's saint-" As he spoke, he put down the teacup, clasped his hands into fists, raised them into the air, and said, "I am the most intimate and trust me the most, and now I have the daughter of a rebel and thief at home, isn't it to bring trouble to myself?" ”
These days, Yao Heier has been sad about the sudden great misfortune of her mother's family. She has been guessing, whether her father really deliberately rebelled against King Zhen, or was framed, she didn't think of this layer at all, and now when she heard her husband say this, it also made some sense, and remembered that her husband was once demoted because of the martial family, and immediately divorced his ex-wife Wu, and now it is not surprising that he has done such a thing to himself.
She was about to speak, when she suddenly heard her little daughter crying inside, followed by the voice of Mama Lu coaxing her daughter, and suddenly there was a tingling pain in her heart, so she had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her lips, and changed her words sadly: "Master, even so, we have been husband and wife for six or seven years, and we have three daughters, if I am kicked out by the master, these three children, what should I do?" I also beg the lord to let me be at home for the sake of his daughters. No matter how many concubines the master accepts in the future, I will never say anything. ”
Du Xin looked Yao Hei'er up and down, and smiled coldly: "Are you embarrassed to mention it?" I don't say this, but you said it, it's been six or seven years since you entered the door, and you gave birth to three girls, and you are simply a tile kiln! After another pause, he said coldly: "You three girls, I am not uncommon, master, you will take them all!" ”
Yao Hei'er was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Master, these three children, although they are girls, are also your daughters, can you bear to abandon them?" ”
Dusin had already stood up, dusted off the dust that did not exist on his body, and said coldly: "The words have been made clear, you can pack up your things, even your clothes with three tiles." From tomorrow onwards, I don't want to see the four of you mother and daughter appear in front of my eyes again! ”
Yao Hei'er understood that it was useless to argue, so she had to say: "Even if you are so ruthless, I don't want to stay for a long time." According to the law of this dynasty, if a woman is divorced, the dowry should be brought back by herself. You gave me all the dowry that my father gave me back then, and I took it with me, which is enough for our mother and daughter to live. ”
Du Xin, who had already walked to the door, turned around suddenly, a cold light shot out of his eyes, up and down, looked at Yao Hei'er again, and said, "What dowry?" Even if you have some dowry, it is the property of the criminal Yao Dian's family that should be confiscated! I have submitted it to the Holy Lord! I can allow you to bring a few clothes, I already see that the husband and wife are separated, don't be delusional! As he spoke, he walked out, and before he forgot to slam the door hard, making a loud "clang" sound.
Jiu'er, who finally settled down in the room, was so frightened by this loud noise that she cried again.
Yao Hei'er trembled like chaff, she raised her hand tremblingly, pointed in the direction of the door, her lips squirmed for a long time, and she didn't say a word.
Mama Lu hurriedly walked out with Jiu'er in her arms, and saw Yao Hei'er standing in a daze, her face pale, trembling all over, and she hurriedly called out to the girl. After calling for a long time, no girl came in. Mama Lu had to hold Jiu'er with one hand, help Yao Hei'er to sit down with the other, and handed Yao Hei'er a handkerchief, and persuaded: "Madame, don't worry first, wait for Master Ming'er to come back to his senses, people say that tiger poison does not eat children, and the master will definitely not be able to give up the three young ladies." ”
When Yao Hei'er woke up, she saw her eldest daughter Qiong'er and her second daughter Pei'er, curled up behind the door, just like herself, their faces pale and trembling.
She hurriedly took her two daughters into her arms and asked, "What about your grandmothers and girls?" I don't care about you either? ”
Qiong'er burst into tears and said, "Mother, the sisters and mothers in our room have taken their things and left." They said that their father had commanded them to stop serving us. Why? I went to look for my father, but there was someone watching at the door and I was not allowed to go out. ”
Pei'er said tremblingly: "Mother, did I break my father's favorite vase yesterday, and my father was angry, so he didn't want us?" ”
Yao Hei'er's tears fell, she gritted her teeth, and instructed Mama Lu: "You pack up our clothes, and we will leave tomorrow." ”
Mama Lu agreed, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Madam, where can we go?" ”
yes, where to go? Yao Hei'er didn't know either.
Five masters and servants sat in the room. Yao Hei'er hugged her two daughters, and Mama Lu hugged the third miss, looking at the twilight outside the window, slowly invading it, until the house engulfed the five masters and servants.
At the gate of the courtyard, there was finally movement. a mother-in-law, carrying a food box; A girl carrying a lantern.
The girl took out the candle from the lantern and lit the candle in the room; The mother-in-law puts the food in the food box on the table.
The mother-in-law looked at the five masters and servants who were carved in wood and clay, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Madam, I advise you to eat some food." That's already the case, three young ladies, and it's all up to you in the future. I heard that in more than half a month, the lord is going to marry the sister of General Yunlu's family. The people outside are busy with this. We also know that this is not fair to the lady, but we are all slaves, so what can we do? ”
Yao Hei'er smiled sadly, and two more tears rolled down her cheeks, and said, "I'm nothing, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, and he didn't even want his own daughter." ”
The mother-in-law said to the girl, "Sister, please go to another room and find a few more lamps." Although Madame is leaving, she has always been gentle to us. We have always received the grace of our wife, and now we must not be too unconscionable. ”
The girl hurriedly agreed and turned to go.
The mother-in-law watched the girl leave, then lowered her voice and whispered: "Madam, I heard someone discussing, saying that the sister of General Yunlu's family has let go, it is okay to be a stepmother, but not a stepmother." General Yun Lu has made meritorious service this time, and he has won the favor of the saint, and the master is bent on marrying this family, so he naturally wants to give up the young ladies. He sighed again: "This young lady of the Yong family knows that she is not easy to mess with, and in the future, we slaves and maids will not know how to suffer!" ”
The Yong family is the home of General Yunlu. Yunlu General Yongdong, Yao Hei'er doesn't know? Back then, this Yongdong was just a general under his father, but thanks to his father's promotion, he was promoted steadily. That is, this time, Yongdong took people to copy the Zhen Wangfu and the Yao family, and the action was clean and neat, and he did not run out of a single relevant person, and the saint was happy with the dragon's heart, so he promoted this Yongdong to General Yunlu.
Yao Hei'er smiled miserably again. The girl had already taken a few candles and came over. The mother-in-law hurriedly covered her mouth and said no more.
The little girl lit a few candles, and the room suddenly brightened.
