Chapter 967: Pretending
The two of them walked one after the other, surrounded by noisy voices, those noisy voices, it was like a chorus, "Xu family plaster, ancestral secret recipe, headache doctor head and foot pain treatment, no disease and health." ”
"Xu's plaster, ancestral secret recipe, headache doctor head and foot pain doctor, no disease and health."
The one who sells "Xu family plaster", when I think about it, must be a liar, and he is blatantly deceiving people's trust, why, probably just because, the homonym of the two words of the Xu family is "false".
"Walk by, don't miss it, we are from Shanxi, just because we ...... Performing here, those who have money have a money field, and those who don't have money ......"
In such a noisy voice, Emperor Yan asked, "What does Lao Feng want you to convey here?" ”
"The factory minister asked the villain to tell the prince that the affairs of the imperial capital are being arranged in a dense manner, and now, the factory minister is needed to pretend to be a person."
"Exactly? Let's talk about it. ”
Before noon, a carriage with an unsightly appearance, green tweed, came out of the Yimen of the imperial capital, crossed Yongxiang, and went out of the imperial city, and then, two people accompanied one person to Pingkangli.
"What is the situation, where are we now, where are we?" A blind old woman, holding a wooden stick in her hand, struck the ground hard, and asked eagerly, the thin hand looked like charcoal because of the labor.
In fact, it's not bad, she is a charcoal seller, it's not accurate to say this, it should be said that this old woman's husband is a veritable charcoal seller, Dijing Mizhu Xingui, want to live in Dijing, it can really be described as "not easy", this old woman's husband froze to death on the street when selling charcoal in a certain year.
It's funny to say, but it's a fact, the poor shirt is single, but I still want to be cold for a day, and if it's cold, if it's cold, charcoal can be sold for a good price, which is a matter of course, and the charcoal seller died, and the old woman held the baton of her husband.
Start selling charcoal and start a new life.
However, their life is still tight, their life is so poor, her daughter-in-law is a good wife and mother, and among their family members, there is a child who is ten years old this year, and the other is only four years old.
Such a stormy family, it is already very difficult and difficult to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, speaking of which, these two people are great, this woman also went to the rich and noble to help cook and wash clothes for others during the time of housework.
She helps cook, and when she comes back, her hands are always covered with dough, which is sometimes the staple food of the family, and they gradually have hope for their days, and the ten-year-old child has been able to pick up the beam to do hard labor this year, which is the hope of life for them.
Last night, it was snowing, and although the old woman was shivering with cold, but when she thought that today, their charcoal would be sold out, although his body was cold, his heart gradually became warmer.
Last night, before dinner, my grandfather's wife told the woman that she needed to find something to come to their house this morning, because it was autumn, and their ten acres of rice had matured, and she had to make food for the laborers early, and whenever such a time came, she would be given a special and friendly right.
She was allowed to take her four-year-old child to the rice field to pick up the rice and ears of wheat that people didn't want, life was so hard, in fact, Baozhu had already decided to die, but no, this woman called Baozhu still needs to support her mother-in-law and her two children.
Her ultimate dream is to have her own one-third of an acre of land, a healthy life for her children, and the best is a stable like a stable in the grandfather's house, so that they can live in it.
Although the grandfather has a lot of money, he has always been very stingy, even if there is a lot of idle land at home, he will not let them plant these for free.
She also has a dream, if only Sha Pingwei could come back, I heard that he became a major general, and now, it is difficult to earn a hundred battles, but I also heard that in the forty-second year of Pingkang, his general has died in a sniper battle, these rumors are fortunate and unfortunate.
But whether the rumors are true or false, she doesn't know, more than four years have passed from Pingkang's forty-second year to Jackie Chan's fourth year, and his second child was almost born before he was a child.
Now the second child is four years old, but he has not heard from him, in fact, the old woman knows that her son has already died, but the daughter-in-law is unwilling to accept this reality.
In fact, in the imperial capital of the Yanling Kingdom, there are more families like this, they all live in the abyss, and no one rescues them, and every year, such families are also declining sharply in the Yanling Kingdom.
Today, it is a terrible thing for the old woman and this woman to feel terrible at the same time, last night, there were two people who claimed to be from the imperial capital, and took them to the grandfather's house, but the strange thing is that the grandfather's family seemed to disappear out of thin air, in this house, it was quiet, and the silence was extraordinary.
The two men approached them, and they made their family, the old and weak women and children, feel fear.
"Where the hell is this?" Sensing the danger, the old woman stood up, and trembling with her cane in her hand, went to the door, but instead of paying attention to the old woman, the soldier snapped the door shut.
"Mother, this ...... What's going on? ”
The woman called Baozhu was obviously confused, confused, and puzzled by what was happening, and her mood fluctuated because what was happening in front of her was too worrying.
Although the old woman is also experienced, she does not understand everything that is happening in front of her, and her fear is no less than that of the woman in front of her, but the old woman tells herself that she must not see her fear expressed, otherwise, her fear will spread wildly, and then things will be extraordinary.
"It's okay, it's okay, we've never sinned against anyone here, don't be afraid." He said as he shook his daughter-in-law's hand vigorously.
Following the emperor out, the carriage of the two eunuchs arrived, and the two eunuchs were in the carriage, and they had already told him many times, asking this person to do something, what he should do, and what to say to his family, Sha Pingwei nodded again and again, he knew that he came out of hell, and everything was arranged.
His greatest wish was not to be with his family, but to see them, just for a look.
And today, the arrangement for Sha Pingwei is indeed to take a look at this group of people, in time for Sha Pingwei to go back in the afternoon, the sun has gradually come out, the autumn sun is white and dazzling, Sha Pingwei got off the carriage, followed the two eunuchs to a very magnificent grandfather's house.
Sha Pingwei's eyes wandered the mansion.
"It's ......"
The eunuch next to "...... before yesterday" explained slowly, but while explaining, he was doing revisionism, "To be exact, before last night, this was the residence of a grandfather surnamed Liu, but today, it has been renamed and changed, and today, the surname of this house is Sha." ”
"Mine?" Sha Pingwei is still grateful for this arrangement, from being wronged to prison, until now, he feels that his life is worse than death, but at this moment, because seeing such a large land, such a vast homestead, it simply made him rekindle his desire to survive.
But Sha Pingwei also understands that his life is counting down.
Seeing that Sha Pingwei was in a daze, the person next to him coughed lightly and reminded: "There is only one hour, you say goodbye to your wife and your mother, what you said just now, can you remember?" ”
"I know everything by heart." As he spoke, he went to the front, and when he entered the house, he saw his mother and his children from afar, and his wife, who was still alone and still pulling at her children.
How difficult and urgent the life of this family is can be seen from their dress, the wife's clothes are still the one before they left home, and the wife's clothes have long been colorless.
