Mrs. Wen and her daughter-in-law Liu were bought by a wealthy businessman in the human market, and when they sat in the rich businessman's car and went to Jiyan City, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both worried in their hearts. What kind of fate awaits you? Will you become a dirty woman who cleans the toilet, or will you become a low-class person who washes clothes? In any case, it will be inevitable that you will be called and drunk in the future.

However, this is not what Mrs. Wen is most worried about, her husband, son, and grandson are all destined to go to the underworld, and she is a lot older, what is the point of living? It's nothing to do some rough work. She glanced at her daughter-in-law beside her. The shabby clothes and messy bun did not cover her delicate skin and charming appearance.

Although Liu is thirty years old, he has always been pampered, so he is very well maintained, and he looks like he is twenty-four or five years old at most, and he has a dusty and vulgar elegant temperament. Mrs. Wen is most worried about her daughter-in-law being bullied. Although Liu looks weak, he has a strong temperament. If she has a good one, how can she be worthy of her dead son and grandson?

The wealthy merchant who bought them was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a chubby round face and a kind look; The long beard shows a bit of elegance. Probably because of the hot weather, he always has a goose feather fan in his hand.

When he was in the cold city, this wealthy businessman was not polite to Mrs. Wen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and often yelled; After leaving the cold city, the wealthy businessman changed his lofty posture two days ago and treated the two of them with courtesy. He asked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to sit in a car with red roofs and green curtains, and what kind of store to live in and what kind of meal to eat, they had to come to the car in advance, and discussed with Mrs. Wen in a rather respectful tone.

With a wealthy businessman as an example, a few people around him followed, and they were even more respectful to Mrs. Wen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Walking to a market more than 100 miles away from the cold city, when the group was eating, they happened to see someone selling a girl on the side of the road, so the rich merchant bought the girl and ordered her to serve Mrs. Wen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Wen and Liu glanced at each other, their faces were full of surprise, did they buy themselves to be slaves, or did they buy themselves to be masters? But neither of them dared to ask more.

With a stomach full of questions, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed the rich businessman to Jiyan City.

The car stopped at the back corner door of a very large mansion, and the wealthy businessman led the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law through the courtyard to a gorgeous study. In the courtyard in front of the study, there are weapons shelves, swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, everything, polished brightly, and cold.

Mrs. Wen guessed in her heart that this was not like a merchant's house in any case, but quite similar to the general's mansion in her own home. In a trance, she even felt that maybe her husband was not dead at all, and sent someone to save her.

The wealthy merchant invited Mrs. Wen and Liu's to sit in the study, ordered someone to bring tea, and then turned around and went out.

After a while, a general who was eight feet tall, with a brown face and wearing armor, walked in, and judging by his dress, he should have just returned from inspection.

When the general saw Mrs. Wen, he actually bowed down and praised in his mouth: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you have been frightened!" ”

Mrs. Wen was so frightened that she almost jumped out of her chair. It wasn't until the general finished his salute and stood up again, that she looked at it carefully for a long time before she recognized that this was her husband's former friend Li Sui.

Li Sui and Yao Dian were also by the side of the first emperor back then, and they were heroes of the Xu Kingdom. Friendship between life and death on the battlefield is more precious than any friendship.

A few years ago, when Li Sui entered Beijing to face the saint, Mrs. Wen naturally saw him.

Mrs. Wen trembled her lips, pulled her daughter-in-law next to her, and said, "This is your Uncle Li, come and see you soon!" ”

The Liu family, who hadn't figured out what was going on, had to hurriedly follow her mother-in-law's words and say a blessing to Li Sui.

Mrs. Wen shook her head and said, "Not enough! Inadequate! Child, kowtow to your uncle! He saved our lives! Your head is also kowtowed for your mother. ”

When the Liu family was busy kowtowing, he was stopped by Li Sui and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't dare to be!" It's all me late! I heard that there is a granddaughter, but I don't know where to go. ”

Speaking of her granddaughter, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but burst into tears, and reluctantly smiled: "Brother, you have been a great favor to us-" Before she finished speaking, tears fell like rain.

Li Sui couldn't help but shed tears, and sighed: "Seven or eight years ago, I said goodbye to Brother Yao in the capital, and I didn't want to see each other again. Brother Yao's life, he was brave and loyal, and he made great contributions to Xu Guoguo, but it is really sad and sad to end up like this! ”

Mrs. Wen gritted her teeth and scolded: "It's all faint! How can my husband be rebellious? It's just because he was good friends with King Zhen that he was jealous and hated by the faint king. ”

Li Sui sighed: "I don't need my sister-in-law to explain, how can I not understand?" I know Brother Yao's personality best. My sister-in-law is now facing such a situation, and I can't say that I have to be wronged in my family for a few days. In this Jiyan City, I can still protect the two of you. It's just that the identity of the sister-in-law is not easy to show, so I have to ask the sister-in-law and niece to ...... for the time being. ......"

Mrs. Wen understood in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I understand that we will be the subordinates of the mansion in the future." Please don't deliberately treat us well, so as not to be seen, our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't care about anything, but I'm afraid that the general will be affected. Although this Jiyan City is far away from the capital, it is inevitable that there may be eyes and ears of the faint monarch in the army. ”

Li Sui hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "How offended, forgive my sister-in-law!" ”

Then he turned around and called people in, ordered to invite Mrs. out of the inner house, and explained to his wife, Mrs. Yan, and told her to take care of Mrs. Wen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law more in the future, give them some simple things to do in the room, and try not to let them out.

Mrs. Yan also knew that the matter was very important, so she hurriedly agreed, so she asked Mrs. Wen to follow her, talk to her in her spare time, and wipe the dominoes; Arrange for Liu's to help make some needlework.

The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law, since they entered the General's Mansion, have been doing quite well. Except that every night, in the dead of night, the pain of losing a loved one suddenly, the heart-rending feeling, like a greedy demon, devours the hearts of two people. At this moment, Mrs. Wen felt as if there were ten thousand steel needles pierced in her heart. In her sleep, she would often let out desperate exclamations, and suddenly she would wake up from her dreams in a sweat.

Mrs. Yan was very considerate and arranged for Mrs. Wen and her daughter-in-law to live in a room. Every time Mrs. Wen woke up from her dream, she could see Liu, sitting beside her and weeping. Then, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, dressed in coats, sat in front of the window, silently looking at the moonlight outside the window, listening to the sound of the wind blowing in the treetops until dawn.

Although they don't have much work, and although Mrs. Yan often orders people to bring their own food to them, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still getting thinner and thinner.

Until this day, it rained heavily, and the day turned into night, after Mrs. Wen lit the lamp for Li Sui, she returned to Mrs. Yan's room, and just said a few words, a little girl walked in and whispered to Mrs. Wen: "Mother Wen, the general asked me to bring in a woman, she is now in the ear room, and the general ordered, let you bring her a cup of tea." ”

Although the little girl's voice was very low, Mrs. Yan still heard it and said with a smile: "What woman?" Isn't it just a cup of tea? No matter who sends it, why bother with Mother Wen? ”

The little girl pouted aggrievedly and said, "But no, madam, I said the same thing, but I was scolded by the master." ”

Mrs. Yan has always been generous to her subordinates, and when she saw that the little girl was wronged, she smiled and said, "You kid, you must not be able to speak, which makes the old man angry." It's not a big deal—" Turning to Mrs. Wen, he said, "Then you can send a cup of tea in, come back quickly, and we still have to prepare a birthday gift for that adult." ”

The little girl hurriedly took a celadon cup, poured a cup of tea, put it in a red lacquer tray, handed it to Mrs. Wen, and said with a smile: "Madame also said that I can't speak, I have learned some eyes in front of Madame for the past few years." Mother Wen, don't you say? ”

Mrs. Wen couldn't help but smile, took the tray, and went to the ear room.
