Chapter 32: Into the City
The county seat of Wei County.
It is the season when the spring flowers are blooming, and the farmers are busy with spring ploughing, and there is an endless stream of cars and horses at the gate of the county town. Merchants came and went, men and women of the scholar clan who went out for spring, small laborers who went into the city to work, and rows of homeless people under the base of the city walls.
In April, he rode in a carriage and was escorted by Sun De.
She opened the corner of the window and looked out.
Familiar with the county town, I didn't expect her to return here again.
In the last life, she married Sun De, first served her in-laws in Sun De's hometown, and lived separately from Sun De for a long time. When the world was in turmoil, Sun De moved the whole clan to the county seat, and she settled in the city.
At that time, Sun De was busy with official business, and even if he lived in the city, it was rare for the husband and wife to see each other. Because she did not give birth, her in-laws became more and more harsh and trampled on her. She was alone in the Sun family, with no foreign aid, and second, she lacked confidence, so she could only endure it all the time.
Later, I finally got pregnant, but because of overwork, she had a miscarriage.
When the doctor told her that it would be difficult to get pregnant again, she was like ashes and cried.
She locked herself in her room for the first three days, and Sun De did not comfort her from beginning to end, and only showed her face once in the whole process, and he disliked her very much. dislikes that she can't give birth to children and drags him down.
At that moment, she finally saw the man's true nature.
She wiped away her tears, ate hard and fed hard, no matter how abusive her mother-in-law pointed at her nose, she was unmoved. If she doesn't give it to her, she grabs it and eats it.
The Sun family said that she was shameless, that she was crazy, that she was a broom star, and that she was a plague every day. Every day, a large bucket of clothes is thrown at her door, reminding her to do laundry and cook.
There are more than a dozen people in the family, and she does all the work alone.
She doesn't do it!
She doesn't wash the dirty laundry she throws at the door. She ignored the cold pot and cold stove.
She resisted silently, and finally alarmed Sun De, who was busy with official business.
The in-laws asked Sun De to divorce her, and she also hoped that he would divorce her. I haven't sent it on this day. She was willing to go back to Yuan's house, to that poor home, at least there was warmth.
But Sun De unexpectedly refused.
"The war is in chaos, where can you go if you leave the Sun family. Without the protection of the Sun family, you may die on the street one day. Live in peace, I'll talk to them about my parents. ”
She didn't understand Sun De, and she didn't understand why the other party didn't stop herself. Is it sympathy, pitiful?
Sun De is selfish by nature, but he did give her a way to live.
The situation in the city is tense, and she tries to get out of the house and do what she can. It was also in this process that I met the fake Taoist priest and learned many skills from the Taoist priest.
In the last year, she organized the women and children in the city to provide logistics for the garrison. It was the highlight of her life.
She still remembered that the palace secretly withdrew from the county seat, and Sun De was ordered to hold the city.
The husband and wife met again, one was the logistics chief, and the other was the captain of the city.
He sighed: "I really didn't expect you to be able to do this. Heard you're literate? ”
"I can't manage if I can't read, and I can't read accounts. Fortunately, I still have some talent, so I don't have too much trouble to learn. ”
"I underestimated you. If one day the city is broken......"
"Naturally, it is to live and die with the people of the whole city."
In my memory, it was the first and last time the couple sat down to have a long conversation calmly. There wasn't much to talk about, and there were basically no personal touches.
Two people who are full of shortcomings, who would have thought that they could hold up a city and hold on for a year. Everyone in the world is looking at it.
Even she couldn't believe that she had done it.
"What is Miss Yuan thinking, so engrossed." Sun De asked curiously.
April snapped back to her senses with a cold glint in her eyes. She lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, holding back the wind, frost, snow and rain in her eyes.
"Dare to ask Chief Sun Tun, should we go directly to the palace, or find another place to live and wait for the palace to notice?"
"The palace is urgent, let's go directly to the palace."
April snorted and closed the window.
In the last life, she never understood why the Linchuan Royal Mansion gave up the county seat. This is the foundation of the palace, the relatives of the palace live in the city, and they give up when they say they give up, which is neat and decisive, and it is eye-popping.
King Linchuan is the only king with a different surname in this dynasty, and has been inherited for nearly a hundred years. This generation of Linchuan King is the fifth generation.
It is rumored that His Majesty is quite suspicious of the King of Linchuan. Korean Chinese military officials also had a lot of opinions about the occupation of the rich city of Wei County by the King of Linchuan.
In a word, the situation of Linchuan Wangfu is not very good.
But......
When the world was in turmoil, the king of Linchuan became the attention of the world, and he was one of the few princes who were qualified to participate in the struggle for hegemony.
Linchuan Royal Mansion is located in the north of the city.
The originally lively street, the closer it is to the palace, the more deserted it becomes, and there is no small stall vendor. But the soldiers who came and went saw a lot.
The palace has arrived!
April took a deep breath, got out of the carriage, and looked up, the boy in the porter she actually knew, Ma Yi. While defending the city, he broke an arm. After recovering from the injury, follow her to do the logistics.
On the night the city broke, everyone was desperate with knives and guns, and Ma Yi was no exception. I don't know if this kid survived in the end.
I don't think I survived. The enemy slaughtered the city, and it was bound to kill everyone in the city, so how could they allow the fish to slip through the net.
She nodded at Ma Yi with a smile, and when she saw her old acquaintance, she felt kind.
The porter Ma Yi raised his eyebrows, hey, where did you come from, do you know the country girl? If you don't know him, you'll be close to him. Hehe......
He was contemptuous and dismissive.
"Brother Ma, this Miss Yuan is here to serve the Seventh Prince, please let me know." Sun De was polite and secretly handed over a few money to the other party.
"Oh, she's the girl with the strange characters that the chief said?"
"Exactly!"
Ma Yi looked at April a few more times curiously, and her appearance was okay, white and tender did not look like a country girl. He squinted at Sun De and smiled.
After all, he is serving the Seventh Son, and he must not find a girl with crooked melons and cracked dates.
Sun Tunchang really has the eyesight.
"Wait, I'll report to you. The ladies went to the concierge first to drink saliva. ”
"Thank you!"
April sat down in the gatehouse with Sun De.
She said casually, "He talks a lot." ”
At the beginning, Ma Yi, whom she knew, was a taciturn man.
"You know him?" Sun De was curious.
"Of course not. It's the first time I've come to the city, and if it weren't for Sun Tunchang leading the way, I wouldn't even know which direction the palace gate would open. ”
Miss Yuan was polite. When you enter the palace, you are on an errand by the side of the Seventh Prince, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds. I heard that the temper of the seventh prince is a little uncertain, you should be careful. ”
"Chief Sun Tun cares about me very much?" April joked.
Sun De had a cold face, "Miss Yuan should understand that we are cooperating." I hope you can take the most serious attitude to serve the Seventh Prince. When the time comes, your benefits will be indispensable. ”
April smiled, "Don't worry, Sun Tunchang, I can't miss you." My eldest brother's errand, please also implement it as soon as possible. He has a clumsy brain, and may not be suitable for working as an errand under Sun Tunchang. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, can you give my eldest brother a position that doesn't require a lot of brains."
"I try."
"That's great!"
