Chapter 1: Exiled by the family
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital of Shu Kingdom, in the main hall of the main courtyard, a woman can be seen kneeling on the ground. The woman's face was cold and dismissive in the face of everyone's accusations, she didn't care at all, as if she was an outsider.
"Mu Qiange, you are so bold that you dare to do such a thing that insults the reputation of my Prime Minister's Mansion."
"I didn't!"
She looked up and looked at the people in the seat with fearless eyes.
Mu Zhi looked at Mu Qiange, who didn't know the slightest mistake, and his indifferent voice came into the ears of everyone in the hall word by word.
"From now on, Mu Qiange is no longer the Miss Yan of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Whoever comes, first put this evil obstacle in the firewood room. ”
When Su Shi heard this, it was difficult to hide the smug look in his eyes. She looked at her daughter, who was standing beside her, and secretly made up her mind.
Mu Qianying looked at her sister who was taken down by her subordinates, and her heart was already happy. Who made her inconsiderate, His Royal Highness King Jin is her own, and she Mu Qiange is also worthy.
"Sir, don't be angry. Qiange's behavior today is all blamed on the concubine's lack of strict discipline. ”
"Humph! You can't get away with it. ”
Su Shi asked, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
"Daddy, I found her having a private meeting with a man in my sister's room today. She wouldn't let anyone know about this kind of thing. What's more, my mother manages this huge prime minister's mansion, and everything is too small. ”
"That's it, it's already happening. The news of wanting to come to Qiange will soon spread to the streets and alleys of the capital, and it would be inappropriate to leave her in the mansion. Madam, tell me, where is it appropriate to send a thousand songs? ”
Mu Zhi stroked his forehead, his eyes slightly tired. It's just that when Mu Qiange's departure and stay were mentioned, there was a rare heartache on his face.
Su Shi's eyes turned and moved behind Mu Zhi. Stretching out her tender hands, she gently massaged his shoulders.
"Master, the concubine remembers that there is a yard and some fields in the countryside. Qiange can't stay in the capital, so it's better to let her go to the countryside! No one knew anything about her past. ”
A moment later, just when Su thought that Mu Zhi would not agree. A slightly helpless voice sounded: "Let Uncle Zhang take her tomorrow." ”
"It's my lord, the concubine went down to prepare for Qiange."
Mu Zhi waved his hand, and Su Shi stopped what he was doing. came to Mu Qianying, who was secretly happy, and pulled her out of the hall together.
"Mother, this slut Mu Qiange is really going to the countryside, will she come back in the future?"
Su Shi couldn't help laughing, "She also has to come back with this life!" ”
In the dim firewood room, Mu Qiange hugged his thin body and curled up in the corner. The cold wind was biting, and it blew mercilessly on her.
"Miss, Miss........."
Mu Qiange looked up and saw Lan'er poking her head out of the window.
"Why are you here, go back quickly, they found out, you are going to suffer again."
Hearing this, the little girl couldn't help crying.
"I'm fine, it's not good! Don't cry, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. Tonight is the last time we see each other, so be happy, okay? ”
Lan'er wiped away her tears, and she handed Mu Qiange a small burden. She knew that Madame was not allowed to leave the house with her, so she only picked out the important ones.
Mu Qiange just wanted to get up to pick it up, but as soon as she moved, she was injured on her body, and she gasped in pain.
"Miss, they tortured you, how can they ........."
Mu Qiange shook his head, "You throw the burden over, go back quickly, I don't want to bother you." ”
Although Lan'er was distressed, she knew that she was not able to protect her young lady now with her single strength. She threw the burden in her hand hard, and saw Mu Qiange put the burden away, before turning around and leaving.
Watching Lan'er's back disappear into the night, Mu Qiange buried his head between his knees. Although she is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, her mother died early. Su Shi treats himself gently and amiably on the surface, but behind his back, he always makes himself a stumbling block. Just like today, she was obviously taking a nap, and she never thought that when she opened her eyes, there was a man lying next to her.
The corner of the sky was white, and Mu Qiange sat drowsy on the carriage to the countryside.
She lifted the corner of the curtain and saw that it was Uncle Zhang driving the carriage. She said slightly, "How far is it from the countryside?" ”
Asking, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Miss, there are about two hours to go." ”
Mu Qiange didn't speak, they had been out of the capital for a long time, and it seemed that the countryside that the Su clan said must be very remote.
The carriage galloped all the way, and finally arrived at the countryside at ten o'clock in the evening, looking at the sign at the entrance of the village, this is Baishui Village.
"Miss has arrived."
Zhang Bo pulled the reins and shouted to Mu Qiange in the carriage.
Mu Qiange moved his body, which had been bumped all the way and was about to fall apart, and slowed down before strolling out of the carriage.
Looking at a simple courtyard in front of him, and some weedy land in front of and behind the courtyard, this may be the field in Su's mouth.
Uncle Zhang looked at Mu Qiange, who looked cold, and when he saw such a scene, he was really worried about her in his heart. But he could not disobey Madame's command, and turned away.
Mu Qiange looked at the carriage, and after looking at Uncle Zhang, who had turned to leave, she opened her mouth and didn't shout.
She led the carriage to the backyard before returning to her main house, which could not be compared to the Prime Minister's Mansion. In addition to cobwebs everywhere in the room, there are also small holes made by rats.
Mu Qiange was tired and hungry now, she took out the injury medicine that Lan'er had prepared for her from her arms, and wanted to take the medicine first, making other plans.
"Is anyone there?"
Hearing someone shouting outside, Mu Qiange tidied up his clothes before he walked out of the room and opened the courtyard door.
"Auntie, are you calling me?"
Mu Qiange looked at a middle-aged lady standing in front of him, and couldn't help asking.
"Yes, girl. I just saw that you seem to have a carriage, and I want to hire your carriage to go into the city once, fifteen cents at a time, do you think it's okay? ”
Hearing this, Mu Qiange smiled and said, "Auntie, you wait, I'll go and lead the carriage for you." ”
After a while, the aunt looked at the carriage in front of her, although it was not gorgeous, it was good in their country.
"Girl, this is fifteen cents, you can take it."
"Auntie, I don't want money, can you buy some bedding and some rice noodles for me by the way when you go to the city?" After Mu Qiange finished speaking, he handed over another ingot of five taels of silver.
"All right, girl. In the future, you will call me Aunt Li, and we will live opposite the girl, and if there is anything in the future, just look for me. ”
Mu Qiange nodded and smiled: "Aunt Li, thank you, I may have to trouble Aunt Li more in the future." ”
"Girl, it's getting dark, I'm leaving, we'll talk when we get back."
Mu Qiange nodded, and watched Aunt Li get into the carriage and leave, before she turned around and went into the house to continue to give herself medicine. This body is only eleven or twelve years old. Although she is young, she has some appearances, and she will be a rare beauty in the future.
Although the room is dilapidated, the tables, chairs and benches are still complete. She cleaned her bedroom and then went back to the kitchenette. Seeing that the pots and chopsticks are quite complete, it may be the reason why they have not been used for many years, and there is a thick layer of dust.
Mu Qiange rolled up her sleeves and cleaned all around the kitchen, thinking that when Aunt Li came back, she would be able to cook and eat.
"Girl, are you asleep?"
Mu Qiange asked, smiling, she hurriedly got up and opened the courtyard door, and saw Aunt Li leading the carriage station to the side of the gate.
"Aunt Li, come into the house and sit down."
"Girl, I'll help you bring back everything you want, this is the rest of the money, you can take it."
"Thank you, Aunt Li!"
Mu Qiange took the money and moved things into the house with Aunt Li.
"Girl, I don't know your name yet?"
Aunt Li saw that all the things had moved into the house, and she couldn't help but want to be close to her when she saw that Mu Qiange couldn't help but look beautiful and have a good personality.
"Aunt Li, just call me Qiange."
"Qiange, this name is really good. You haven't eaten yet, you wait for me to go back and get you some steamed buns, you will eat some first. ”
Mu Qiange just wanted to refuse, but seeing that Aunt Li had turned around and walked out of the yard, she was really tired at the end of the day, and she really didn't want to cook.
Aunt Li moved quickly, she took a few white-flour steamed buns and put them on the table in front of Mu Qiange, and couldn't help urging: "Qiange, eat quickly." ”
Hearing this, Mu Qiange reached out and took a steamed bun and nibbled it, and then by candlelight, looking at Aunt Li's gentle gaze, Mu Qiange's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly. In this life, although she is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's house, she is not even as good as a rough girl.
"Qiange, you eat slowly, I'll come to see you tomorrow, you rest early."
Aunt Li looked at Mu Qiange, who was secretly hurting herself, and her heart was slightly painful. They are not relatives, but at this moment, they are more like relatives.
"Thank you so much Aunt Li today, I'll send you."
Mu Qiange got up and sent Aunt Li to the door, and when she saw Aunt Li's back disappearing into the night, she locked the courtyard door and returned to the room.
The next morning, she woke up early. I came to the weedy clearing in front of the yard and began to work hard to remove the grass. If the land is freed, she can plant some potatoes or sweet potatoes, which have a short ripening time, and can also help herself temporarily relieve her predicament.
"A Thousand Songs, a Thousand Songs......"
Aunt Li shouted at Mu Qiange, who was weeding, through the courtyard gate.
"Aunt Li, come in, who is this?"
Mu Qiange looked at the honest young man standing beside Aunt Li and couldn't help asking.
"This is my son, I see that you are a girl's family, and he may not usually do farm work, so let him come and help you."
"That's great, come in, I'll cook."
Mu Qiange brought Aunt Li and the others into the courtyard and looked at the clearing where most of the grass had been removed. Aunt Li couldn't help but praise: "Qiange, I can't see that you still look good when you do farm work." ”
"Aunt Li, it's over. You sit down first, and I'll cook. ”
"Qiange, don't bother, Zhuangzi and I will finish removing the remaining grass and go back."
Mu Qiange smiled: "Aunt Li, you are polite like this, we are neighbors, and you have helped me so much, this meal still has to be eaten." ”
Seeing Mu Qiange's insistence, Aunt Li did not refuse. So he and Zhuangzi removed the remaining weeds, and took a hoe from their own house to turn over the land, and when they were done, Mu Qiange's meal was already on the table.
Zhuangzi looked at the large pot of rice on the table and drooled. They are countrymen, and their lives are difficult, not to mention rice, even if they eat brown rice once in a while, it is also excellent.
Mu Qiange filled Aunt Li and Zhuangzi with a bowl full of white rice each, and said with a smile: "I only came here yesterday, and I don't have anything to entertain." Luckily, I found a few potatoes in the kitchen and picked some wild vegetables in the backyard. I made shredded potatoes and fried wild vegetables, and I hope Aunt Li won't dislike it. ”
"Qiange is talking about this, these are all excellent."
Although Mu Qiange has endured hardships, he doesn't know what life is like for countrymen. She helped entertain Aunt Li and Zhuangzi to dinner.
