Chapter 5 [Unwillingness to be a Concubine]
"Hostages?" Unexpectedly, the man in the purple official robe said sarcastically: "The hostage of the girl is really comfortable." ”
After speaking, he walked forward and raised her chin, making her look at his cold eyes with a bewildered look, "Say, where is Yun Gong Qiu?" ”
"The little girl doesn't know, adult, I really don't know, you, you let me go." Ye Junyi begged bitterly.
"Hmph," said the man, who was expressionless, and ignored her pleas, "the girl had better tell the truth, or else she will suffer from flesh and skin." ”
"I don't know, my lord, I really don't know, let me go." Ye Junyi was angry and anxious, how could he not tell this person.
At this moment, one of his men approached. He put her down, stepped aside and asked the subordinate, "Has anyone ever found the cloud palace's enemy master and servant?" ”
"Your Excellency, I have never found anyone. However, this was found in a room. As he spoke, his subordinate showed him a painting and a few pieces of paper.
The man opened the painting and looked at it, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then slowly closed the painting, his back to Jun Yi at this time, Jun Yi stretched his neck and couldn't see what the painting in his hand was drawing. just looked at him expectantly, hoping that he could clear up the misunderstanding and let himself go.
"Good, good!" This person even shouted a good word, turned around and said to Ye Junyi, "Girl, can you think about it clearly, to recruit or not to recruit?" ”
"Move?" At this time, Ye Junyi was annoyed, "The adults are incompetent, watching the thieves take this girl away, and now they can't catch the thieves, but they take the hostages as thieves." What a capable person! ”
"Humph!" The man snorted again, "Good! Not bad! Good idea! The girl really gave Ben Hou a good idea. Come on. Then he waved his hand, "Arrest this woman back." ”
"No, sir! ......" Ye Junyi regretted that he had just contradicted this person.
The men obeyed the man's orders, and despite her struggles and pleadings, they took her and left.
"You unconscious official, woo ....." She saw that there was no way around, and she was so angry that she cried and scolded all the way.
Seeing that Ye Junyi had been taken away, the man said to his subordinates, "Leave some people to continue searching, and the rest should withdraw first." With that, he walked away.
Junyi stumbled all the way down the mountain, it turned out that the place where they lived was not very high, but the exit was very secret, basically isolated from the world, and these people didn't know how to find it. Soon she was in a small village at the bottom of the mountain, where there were some horses, and she was thrown into a carriage with ropes bound hand and foot. The carriage had been bumping for some time and finally stopped, and someone lifted the curtain, untied the rope from her feet, dragged her down, took her to an unknown official office, and threw her directly into a cell and locked it.
"Girl, what the Hou Ye said if you want to recruit someone, don't suffer hard." The man who brought her "kindly" reminded her. Jun Yi felt bitter in her heart when she heard it, what tricks did she have.
Looking back, the cell where the bullpen was inferior to the unbearable stench, and a few grasses were spread in one corner, and it was occupied by two women in tattered clothes. Seeing Jun Yi's eyes, looking back viciously, Jun Yi snorted, sat down in the opposite corner, hugged his knees with his hands, and buried his head between his arms and knees.
She was groggy and didn't know how long it had been, but she watched the two women go again and again to take the food from the jailer's hand and eat her own and then rob her, the jailer didn't care, and saw Junyi several times and didn't go to grab it back, just sat in the corner blankly, afraid that she would be starved to death, so she went to drive away the two women every time, and served her porridge alone.
One day, as soon as Junyi ate the porridge brought by the jailer, someone opened the cell and took her out. She sat for a while when the man in the purple uniform, who had taken her that day, walked in and sat across from her. The man looked at her with a cold gaze like an eagle but didn't say a word, and Jun Yi looked back at him without dodging. Halfway through, the man asked arrogantly:
"Is the girl used to being in there?"
"It's okay, the jailer brother inside takes special care of the girl and me, and the girl is very comfortable. My lord, would you like to give it a try? When the man heard this, he raised his eyebrows, withdrew his gaze, leaned lazily on the back of his chair, and tapped the table with one hand, saying,
"Girl, let's stop beating around the bush and recruit everything you know about Yun Gong's hatred."
"Ha, my lord said it really funny, I don't know who you are talking about, oh, I know, you are talking about the person who captured me, right? I'm a hostage, he's a robber, what can you tell me? ”
"Hostages? How comfortable are the hostages? Hostage, why didn't he tie you up or kill you or chop off your hands and feet and lock you up? The man said coldly.
"Yes, the parents thought that they would kidnap the hostages and kill them, but the bandits saw that it was a weak woman, and they couldn't find a way to escape, but they gave the hostages some preferential treatment. Ah, compare, the official is a bandit, or a bandit is an official, my lord. Jun Yi said in one breath, "Adults won't announce that the little woman is not killed, tied up and cut off, and pull the little woman out to cut off her head, right?" ”
"What a sharp mouth, Ben Hou will ask you again, do you know the whereabouts of the master and servant of the Cloud Palace?"
"No—know—way."
"Okay, girl, can you think about it? Good, good, good, huh! The man stood up and looked at her condescendingly, and Jun Yi looked back at him without flinching. After a half-ring, the man finally withdrew his gaze and turned away angrily.
Seeing the man walk out of the room, tears and sweat flowed down together, and she didn't know what was waiting for her. Anyway, Jun Yi sighed in his heart, maybe this body is gone, and he has returned to his previous life, how good it would be.
Ye Junyi sat there alone for a while, only to hear another person coming in from outside, and when this person saw Junyi, he covered his mouth and sobbed and called softly, "Girl." Jun Yi was stunned, and when he looked back, it was actually the Li family! Seeing that Junyi turned around and looked at her blankly, Li Shi was even more distressed when he saw that Junyi had lost a lot of people, and stepped forward to hug her: "Good girl, let's go home, go home, ah?" When Junyi heard that he was going home, he only felt relieved, and fell to the ground in front of him.
"Thank you, doctor, good luck."
"Well, okay. When I wake up, the girl's body needs to be well maintained, and I will come back after taking this medicine. ”
"Okay, thank you, doctor, come, send doctor."
I don't know how long it took, Jun Yi's ears were dimly filled with the sound of someone talking, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Girl, girl, are you awake? Ancestor, the girl is awake. Junyi heard Li's cry of joy.
"Son, my hard-working son......" I heard the old ancestor crying and rushed in from the outhouse, followed by his wife, Grandma Zhou, and the big gang of girls. Seeing the old lady like this, she also pretended to try tears with a handkerchief.
I saw that Zhou's grandmother walked into the house, and saw Jun Yi looking at them with her eyes open, so she stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed Jun Yi and cried: "My hard-working sister, why did you encounter this kind of thing, wow, oops" while screaming, she patted the edge of the bed with her hand: "This thief who has been cut by a thousand knives, why did he let him run away?" Oh, my hard-working sister, a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, this innocence is gone? How good is that? Then he turned around and took the hand of the old lady who was stunned: "Ancestor, your old man has to make the decision for his sister!" In the past few days, this matter has been spread all over the capital, how is this good, how is it good? ”
"How is it good? Yes, how is it good!". The old lady was so anxious when she heard this, that the lady and the girl in the room immediately stopped crying and whispered to each other.
"The ancestors don't have to worry," Jun Yi said slowly: "Jun Yi has a clear conscience, but since his innocence and reputation have been ruined, he will not affect his uncles and aunts, cousins, sisters-in-law and cousins. ”
When the old lady heard this, her heart ached even more, and she cried and said: "My hard-working son, your mother is the meat of my heart, she went before me, and she already wanted half my life, how can I be willing to let you go to be lonely like this." ”
After listening to such intimate warm words, Junyi couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and threw herself into the old lady's arms and cried aggrievedly.
"Old lady and girl, don't be sad," that week's grandmother saw the two of them crying and hugging, and knew that the fish had entered the net, and it was time to close the net cable by herself, so she stepped forward and stroked the old lady's back and whispered: "There is still a turnaround now." ”
"Oh, tell me about it." The old lady said hurriedly.
That week, the eldest grandmother looked at the other people in the house, except for the eldest lady, the rest of the wives and girls immediately walked out one after another, and then said: "Of course, you have to count on the master." ”
The old lady came to her senses: "You mean Hou Xu's family?"
Mrs. also hurriedly took over: "Yes, ancestor, no one has ever come to return the dowry after this incident, which shows that the heart is sincere." As long as this Hou Ye is sincere to the girl, we will give up some money to help Mrs. Xu, and the old man will go around in front of Hou Ye Xu, and it will be a matter of time before the girl is supported into the main room. ”
"Yes, yes, it's just that it's not very good-looking when you enter the door, and you can enjoy endless glory and wealth after that. Think about it, how many of the queens in this palace are married? Let's just say that the Empress Chen of the current dynasty was not just a little beauty when she entered the palace? Grandma Zhou hurriedly echoed and said.
Jun Yi raised his head and said resolutely to the old lady: "Ancestor, my grandson would rather enter the temple to clear the ancient Buddha than be a concubine!"
"Nonsense!" The old lady also returned to normal at this time, thought about it, and then made up her mind to say to Junyi: "Grandson, is that woman not married?" I am not willing to treat you casually with such a useless man. Women are like flowers, marrying is like gambling, this Xu Hou Ye is really good, it's better to gamble! I can't say that I can marry a wishful husband and accompany him for life. “
"No, ancestor, the grandson does not want to be a concubine with others, and the grandson is 'willing to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated.'" Please fulfill the ancestors. Ye Junyi looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes and pleading.
"I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads will not be separated. Hum! How is that possible? Except for the poor man who wandered, wasn't that man three wives and four concubines? ”
