Chapter 47 (15 Years of Living Expenses)
Qin Yao smiled, the queen is probably also at the end of the road, and she is a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't count on me, but they come to count on me to assist the prince?
At the same time, I was secretly remorseful in my heart, hearing that this meant that I was playing the opposite, I shouldn't pretend to be a rural village girl and the prince to fight, but I should wilt and do nothing and wait for the fall, after a long time, this is still a pit dug for myself?
"The queen can take a fancy to you for her own reasons, she can sit firmly in the queen's seat in the palace, do you think she will be a simple character? What kind of temperament Your Majesty is, you must know very well, right? She can not only protect you but also trap me by doing this, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! Qin Hong sighed.
The last thing he wants to participate in is this prince dispute, because this kind of stance is no different from gambling, and no one can predict which prince will take the throne in the end, and once he stands on the wrong side, there will be no more future.
"Are you saying her purpose is actually to win over you? If I become the crown princess, you won't have a choice, will you? Qin Yao asked.
"Do I have a choice? Could it be that if you are the crown princess, I will not be able to protect other princes? It's just that the court is really unclear at the moment! Qin Hong sighed.
"Would you bet such a big bet for me? I'm just a dispensable person to you, and you can do things according to your own considerations, without worrying about me. Wouldn't it be better if I had already starved to death more than a decade ago? Qin Yao responded calmly.
Ten years of ignoring himself, this will come to the loving father who is in charge, do you think it is possible to follow yourself in the future?
"Yao'er, it's not that your father is stingy, you are the crown princess, you can find out how much I have as soon as you check it. Although the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is safe, it is indeed not very good. Giving you twenty taels a month is already my limit, and I really can't take any more. Qin Hong turned around in shame.
"Have you ever given us any money?" Qin Yao looked over in surprise.
Qin Hong also turned around in astonishment? looked at Qin Yao, "Yao'er, if it weren't for the legal and reasonable delivery of money, why would I keep your mother and son's household registration for so many years?" How? Have you never received it? ”
"Dad, do you know why I've come to this point?" Qin Yao smiled sadly.
"That winter, my mother hugged me and huddled in the old house everywhere and almost froze to death and starved to death. My mother used to be everyone's lady, and later she was the third lady of Shangshu Mansion, what ability does she have to support the two of us? ”
"Our mother and son can only survive by stealing crops from other people's geography, and when we don't have crops, we can only eat wild vegetables and grass roots, but what about winter? My mother can't find anything to eat and has to feed me. ”
"I will never forget that heavy snowfall, my mother didn't find anything to eat for several days, and I fainted from hunger. When I woke up, my mother had already fried a piece of meat, and lied to me that it was given by a neighbor. I was eight years old and didn't know anything, and I ate the meat with joy. I gave my mother a little, and she said she wouldn't eat anything. ”
"As a result, my mother couldn't wake up the next day, I cried and begged her not to die, and then I knew that I was eating the meat that my mother cut off from her body, do you know how I felt at that time?"
"At that moment I felt like I had suddenly grown up, and in the middle of the night an eight-year-old girl ran into the field desperately digging into the thick snow, and I believed that as long as I could find a mother to eat, she would come back to life."
"But I couldn't find it, so I kept looking for it, because I knew that if I couldn't find my mother to eat, I would die. Do you know what it means to ask for heaven and not for earth? ”
"Later, I fainted in the snow, probably because our mother and son should not have died, and my master happened to find me when he passed by. It was he who saved me and my mother, but my mother woke up and was delirious, and she didn't know anything. ”
"So she always said that it was ten years since we left Shangshufu, but we left for a full fifteen years, and five years have passed since she really woke up."
But in her memory, she watched me grow up little by little, and she didn't know that she had been in a mess for five years. Those five years were just fantasies she had woven for herself when she thought she was going to die. She lived in her own fantasy for five years. ”
"I learned martial arts and began to perform various tasks given by my master." Qin Yao stretched out his hands with tears in his eyes and sent them to Qin Hong.
"You know what? I've never held a hoe in my hands, I only have a knife, do you know how many people I've killed in ten years? ”
"You won't know, because even I can't remember, I became a cold-blooded killer, and I don't know if I killed good people or bad people."
"But I have money, I don't have to let my mother starve and freeze, although my mother doesn't say anything, pretending not to know anything. But surely she could have guessed what I was doing? ”
"Do you know how many times I've been to this glass city? Do you know how many times you've almost become my ghost? But even I don't know why I let you go again and again. ”
"Now you're saying you've been giving us money all the time? You tell me, what about your money? What about your responsibilities? ”
"You send a letter, my mother will come back, you think she is for you! She didn't want me to get my blood stained anymore. Maybe she really didn't know what I was doing, maybe she just wanted me to have a home. ”
"The reason why I went to coax the queen is because I know that she is the same as my mother, she can do anything for the sake of her son."
"She wants me to be the crown princess and the queen in the future, but I can't go back. I'm a killer, let a big devil who kills people without blinking go to the mother's world? Do you think I can? ”
"Qinling ......." Qin Hong suddenly shouted hysterically, startling Qin Yao.
"Sir." Qin Ling heard the shouts and hurriedly ran in.
"Qin Ling?" Qin Hong grabbed Qin Ling's shirt and shook it fiercely.
"What's the matter, sir? What are you doing here? Qin Ling grabbed Qin Hong's clothes in a panic and struggled.
"What's wrong? You still ask me? What money did I ask you to give to Baguio's mother and son? Where have you gotten all these years? Qin Hong asked through gritted teeth, looking like he was about to eat people.
Qin Yao wiped the tears on her face and looked quietly, as long as her mother was not involved, she could calmly deal with any problems and adjust all kinds of chaotic moods at any time, which was a necessary quality for her to survive.
"Master, that's all Fengshun's go, doesn't he report the situation of their mother and son every time he comes back? Could it be that he is greedy for ink? Qin Ling explained in a panic.
"Fengshun? Where is he? Qin Hong asked.
"The third lady asked for leave to go to her relatives two days before she came back, and she hasn't come back yet? Master, how much ink is he greedy? Qin Ling asked as he broke away.
"He hasn't given it once, tell me if it's your business here?" Qin Hong asked viciously.
"Master, if I have a problem, you don't want to help, I need money, I can ask you directly, can I be guilty of greedy for the money of the third lady and the young lady?" Qin Ling explains:
"This Fengshun is too black-hearted, it's just a little greedy for ink, he hasn't given it for so many years, he's all greedy for ink? I'm going to go to the household department to file a case. ”
"It's really none of your business here? Dad, are you sure you're giving us money every month? Qin Yao blocked.
"Can this dad lie to you? If you don't believe it, everyone in Shangshu Mansion knows. Qin Hong hurriedly confirmed.
