I've been in Jinling for so long, and because of the hot weather a few days ago, she hasn't gone out for a walk, and now it's time to go for a walk. Although the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was not as open as that of the Tang Dynasty, it was not so conservative that women were not allowed to go on the streets. It's just that the female dependents of large families must have an entourage to follow, and they are dressed tightly, and some have to wear a veil that reaches to the knees, and ordinary women are not so particular.

So Ruchu dressed plainly, and went out with Yae in men's clothes and a real man, a little boy in the inner courtyard named Little Twelve. Although she has started to take care of her skin these days, it has not improved significantly because it is a relatively long-term project. And she didn't modify the one-line eyebrows that destroyed the overall beauty of her face, so she would definitely not have evil to tease when she walked on the street, and if she flirted with evil, people would run away.

However, she is naturally optimistic, so she is not depressed about it, ugly girls have the benefits of ugly girls, and the safety index is high. Besides, women are the ones who please themselves, although there are many men in Jinling City, but except for Hu Dahai, none of them are what she cares about, so what does it matter if she is ugly or not?

Qingshan has a carriage and horse shop, an inn, a restaurant, a money village, a garment shop, and a jewelry building, and she doesn't have to bring anything when she goes out, just take a special waist card given by Hu Qi. With that waist card, everything can be solved in your own store, and it is really easy to play. Therefore, at the beginning, she was still full of worries, but later she almost forgot her troubles and indulged in the prosperous and exquisite scenery of Jinling.

After a whole day of shopping, she felt that her legs were thin, and she bought a lot of useless and expensive things, but they were delicate and fun, and her interest decreased slightly. After having dinner at his own restaurant in the evening, he walked to the Qingshan carriage and horse shop on the adjacent street, intending to take the carriage home. But when I turned the corner, I saw a group of people in front of me in a circle, pointing and talking to each other, as if something had happened.

Her gossip factor burned fiercely at this moment, and she couldn't care about getting tired, so she squeezed into the crowd alive.

"What happened?" Xiao Twelve didn't wait for the first order, so he obediently asked the middle-aged man who was standing aside with a long sigh. The man wore a square scarf on his head, like a showman.

The man pouted to Nunu in the center of the circle, "Can't you see it yourself?" Selling himself to the funeral, alas, what a pitiful. ”

"Brother Lang, won't you buy it home if you look pitiful? This big and small one only sells for a tael of silver in total, which is more cost-effective. "The other human, who seems to be a friend of this showman.

"Brother Tuan, I am a small family, there are only four wives and children in the family, it is enough to have a mother-in-law, how can I have spare money to take care of others, I think it is still Brother Tuan to buy it, you are not short of that bit of silver, just take it as a good thing." Xiucai, surnamed Lang, persuaded, looked at the people in the circle, and frowned and sighed.

The surnamed Tuan shook his head and said, "I don't care about these two pieces of silver, and it's not that I won't help her." But you look at her face, take it home and take it to catch the soup and medicine fee, in case there is really a three long and two short, how unlucky. Look at the small one, so thin, and I don't know whether to raise or not, this is two lives, big and small, and people who are not blessed in my generation dare not take over. ”

As I first heard it, I followed everyone's gaze. I saw a woman in her twenties kneeling in the circle, probably kneeling for a long time, and she had not eaten or drunk, and looked sluggish and half-dead. There was a little boy of about five or six years old beside her, who looked like a little turnip, with a big head and skinny body, and sat in the circle and looked timidly at the crowd. He is so young, but his eyes are not bright, and there is no intention of begging for pity and sadness, some are just indifferent, and his heart is twisted when he sees it as before.

This woman has no appearance, at most she has good facial features, and she looks weak, not like she can work, so no one buys the mother and son for a tael of silver.

"Little Twelve, go and get some food for the mother and son, it must be soft and light, otherwise their stomachs will not be able to stand it after being hungry for a long time. Yae, you give her five taels of silver, you don't need her to sell herself as a slave, let her take the money and hurry home to handle the funeral for her. She immediately commanded, drawing the eyes of amazement and horror from everyone.

Amazingly, where did this great good man come from so generous? The scary thing is, whose girl is so bold?

And the woman couldn't believe her ears, and she was stunned for a long time before she reacted, because her legs were weak and she couldn't walk, so she actually dragged the child and crawled over to kowtow to Ruchu, so she had to repay the great kindness, if it weren't for Xiao Twelve holding on to the side, Ruchu was almost frightened and fell.

At this moment, she couldn't walk for the time being, so she simply went to the carriage and horse shop to rest. Little Twelve took care of the mother and son to eat, and then brought them over for questioning.

After inquiring carefully, I learned that this woman's name was Du Sanniang, and her husband was a soldier in Zhoushan. A few days ago, the Japanese invaded and his husband was seriously injured, but because he lost the battle, or did not do anything at all, as soon as the Japanese invaders came, the Ming army was defeated and retreated, and even the guard station was abandoned, so the court did not compensate. In the past few years, his father-in-law's military salary has also been deducted many times, and his family is destitute, and finally sold his only house and an acre of thin land to save his father-in-law's life, and now he has no money for burial. In desperation, she sold herself, only begging for a reed mat to wrap the body of her husband, just begging her only son to have something to eat.

Alas, miserable, really miserable! I didn't expect the strength of the Ming Dynasty to weaken like this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the two emperors, would definitely be angry if they knew that their descendants were so bad, right? After listening to this woman's account at first, I felt that the life I lived in which I was favored by my father and lived a life of fine clothes and food was simply a crime against mankind.

"At least you have a son, which is a great blessing in misfortune, and there is hope for living like this." She said gently, "Now hurry home quickly, use this money to handle the future affairs for you, and take your son to live a good life." ”

After saying this, she didn't know why, she suddenly remembered her seventeen-year-old little father-in-law. He also seems to be a military attache in the Shandong Guard, so is he a waste of running away when he sees the enemy, or is he the result of a horse leather shroud in the end?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't know that Du Sanniang hesitated for a moment, suddenly pounced, knelt at her feet, and cried, "Miss is a fairy of the Nine Heavens, and she is kind-hearted, so let the little woman go with Miss, otherwise the little woman has nothing to do, and in the end, she will not be able to support this child." ”

As a modern person, being kneeling around by others is not only unaccustomed, but also a huge psychological burden. And Du Sanniang, in order to find something to do, actually said that she was a nine-day fairy, is there a fairy with a single eyebrow and a dark face? Even if it's a flower fairy, it's rhizomes.

But I understood what she meant at first, after all, I can't save the poor, this child is only five or six years old, and there will be a long time before he can start a family, and the five taels of silver are indeed not as good as the real work.
