Chapter 1: The Eunuch Marries a Wife

Huaishui Village is a small village that cannot be found on the map of urban and rural areas, and there are more than 200 people in the village, but there are more than 200 people, I remember when I was a child, I bought a TV, and I could become a person of the year in the village, which could make the villagers talk about it for a few days.

My name is Qing Jiu'er, although I was born in such a poor and remote country, but I am also a person with a family tree, the old lady of my family was an official in the palace during the Qing Dynasty, in my father's words, that is, there is an identity, which is different from other people in the village.

It's just that this incident not only failed to make me proud, but also a little shameless.

Because, my old lady was a eunuch in the Qing Dynasty, and in layman's terms, he was a eunuch!

Can a eunuch have children? That's a long story.

The old lady's name is Qing Xun, born in bitter cold, he was sold when he was eight years old, and the person who bought him was the most famous pawnshop "Hongru" in the capital at that time.

At the beginning, the grandfather was a "general" in Hongru, and this general was actually the head of the gang and helped in the kitchen.

Later, because he was clever and likable, he was sent to the front yard of the pawnshop as a "posterior", and this offspring was a miscellaneous worker.

Although the old lady was young at the time, he was very willing to learn, and he was also smart, and often secretly watched those "second uncles" inspect the goods.

The second uncle refers to the court, and there are three courtiers in this Hongru, and the so-called courtroom is the appraiser of the treasure in today's terms.

My old lady whispered and was very talented, and when he was about to receive an anti-blue and white porcelain in the second dynasty, he saw the clues.

That thing is first-class exquisite, but it's a pity that it's a fake, this fake can almost be fake, but it was seen by the old lady that it was greasy.

After the great court learned about it, he accepted my old lady as an apprentice, and at that time, the old lady was the object of envy of many people, and he felt that he was right.

However, since then, his food, clothing, housing and transportation have changed dramatically, and there are six children of the same age who have been apprentices with him, and those children have followed the great court since they were five or six years old, and they are quick and knowledgeable.

However, the old lady became a junior apprentice, and he should have been the least qualified, but he became a teacher at the age of sixteen, replaced his master, and became a great courtier of "Hongru".

This is the glory that the old lady has obtained after many years of hard study, but this glory has changed the old lady's life.

In the second year of his reign, the old lady's master invited his seven apprentices to a table of wine.

However, a few glasses of wine that day said a lot, the old lady told the descendants that his master wanted them to help go to the palace to get a thing, and they were apprentices who naturally agreed, but they didn't expect that the way to enter the palace was to become a eunuch after breaking the roots.

What is that thing, we don't know if we got it or not, the old lady was already in her thirties when she left the palace, and her life was spent in it.

He gave up the position left for him by Hongru, returned to his parents, who ruthlessly sold him, married a wife and had children.

At first, people dressed in silk and satin often came to him, but somehow, those people never came again, and the news that the old lady had been a eunuch spread all over the village.

Although they say that they have noses and eyes, I think it's all nonsense, if the old lady is really a eunuch, then where did my grandfather come from?

"Qing Jiu'er, Jiugong."

On the way out of school, a few boys laughed and made fun of me, and every time I went up to fight with them, and every time I couldn't beat the blue nose and swollen face to go home, and then was punished by my father to kneel in the ancestral hall.

The so-called ancestral hall is actually a room dedicated to the ancestral tablet, and I have to kneel in that room for hours before my grandmother can go out.

"Xiao Jiu is only fifteen years old, what should I do if I break my knee?" Grandma pulled me up from the ground, and my legs were no longer numerous.

"Shi'an, I want to set a child daughter-in-law for Jiu'er." My grandmother helped me to the edge of the chair and said to my father.

My father and I widened our eyes almost at the same time, and then we looked directly at my grandmother.

"Mom, others don't know, you don't know, Xiao Jiu?" My father was anxious, waved at me, and motioned for me to go out.

I trembled and walked out of the ancestral hall, but instead of leaving, I sneaked away by the side door and eavesdropped on the conversation between my grandmother and my father.

It's ridiculous to have a child bride for me, not because the times are different, but because I'm a girl myself.

My father married my mother at the age of eighteen, and I was only born at the age of thirty-seven, which is considered a late childbearing.

It turned out to be a girl, my grandfather was seriously ill at that time, in fact, he was also tired by heart disease, some people in the village said behind their backs that even if our ancestors were not eunuchs, it was a desperate life, and they couldn't give birth to a male doll.

So, after I was born, I lied to my grandfather that I was a boy, but his last wish, at that time the old man was just hanging a breath, who knew that as soon as I heard that I was a male baby, I immediately "lived" again, and now I am running seven people, and I still live from time to time to go up the mountain to hunt or something.

"This is what your father meant, saying that our family's fortune is thin, and the heirs are not prosperous, your mother-in-law?" Grandma wanted to speak and stopped.

Mother-in-law means wife to us, but what grandma said about mother-in-law is not my mother, but my stepmother.

My grandmother said that my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, but there is another story from the aunts in the village that my mother killed herself.

I was born in the cold winter of Layue, the river in the village was covered with a thin layer of ice, and my mother roared heartbreakingly for two nights before giving birth to me, a little girl with light white hair.

I heard from my grandmother that when I was born, my fetal hair was white, the size of a kitten, and I didn't cry, but just rolled my eyes and looked around.

That night, the village livestock howled like wolves, and the next day many of the animals died, including my mother by the well in the backyard.

The aunts said that my mother dragged her weak body up from the well with a large bucket of ice water, drank most of it, and drowned her face in the remaining half of the water, and when she found it frozen the next day.

It's just that I don't believe this statement, Aunt Qin said that my parents love each other very much, and it is impossible for her to commit suicide.

Aunt Qin is my grandmother's dowry maid, my grandmother used to be a big family, Aunt Qin never married all her life, served my grandmother and my mother, and now she still takes care of me, I believe what she said.

"Xiao Jiu, why are you here?"

I was eavesdropping on what was being said, and my grandfather's voice came from behind me, and I immediately trembled in my heart, and hurriedly turned around and smirked at my grandfather.

Grandpa was dressed in gray clothes, and he walked like the wind, although he was thin, but his body was still strong.

"Nothing." I answered the sentence and ran away.

In less than three days, there was an additional girl three years older than me in the family, her name was Rong Lanqing, my "child daughter-in-law".

I don't know why my father would agree to such a ridiculous thing, I am a girl myself, how can I have a daughter-in-law?

This Lan Qing is a very quiet girl, she didn't say anything at all when she entered the house, and she didn't get acquainted until a month later.

Aunt Qin said that she was bought, and I felt sorry for her, so she was close to her if there was anything good, and she gradually became willing to talk to me, always calling me "Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu".

At the age of fifteen, I was already young, and at that time, many people who didn't know me very well liked to be close to me, because whenever it rained, Sister Lan Qing would come to give me an umbrella, and those little calves would gather around the window to watch.

These people think that Sister Lan Qing is my sister, so they are all currying favor with me, and there are fewer people who bully me, and life is extremely comfortable.

It's just that this comfortable day came to an abrupt end after half a year.
