Chapter 163: Resignation
Gu Ling'er stood on the street in a daze, letting passers-by steal strange glances at her, but she didn't know where to go.
The Gu family doesn't know where to go, Qin Jixian doesn't want her anymore, and now she doesn't even have a household post, where can she go?
Gu Ling'er left the palace in a dejected state, and she didn't know that she had quietly followed a few people behind her.
The Gu family is not bad, and Gu Ling'er is the same, otherwise she would not have the confidence to marry Qin Jixian back then.
Gu Ling'er has been under house arrest all these years, although her skin is a little rough because she can't take care of it, her skin is a few degrees whiter than ordinary people, and even better than those ordinary women on the street, and it is normal to be targeted.
When Gu Ling'er was put in a sack, she was stunned, and when she reacted, she had already been gagged and put into the sack.
She...... Caught by human traffickers again.
has had the experience of being caught by traffickers, this time Gu Ling'er is very honest, she is not a demon, and she is very obedient. She thought she would be sold as a maid as before, but instead she was sold to a farmer's family in a migrant area that had just experienced war, and became a wife to a man who was blind in one eye.
Gu Ling'er looked at the man who bought her, and her heart beat a drum.
The man was strong, dark-skinned, his blind right eye was covered with a black cloth, and he had a hideous scar on his face.
However, what is surprising is that although this man looks fierce, he does not lose his temper at will, as long as she is obedient and takes care of the house, this man will not do anything to her.
Gu Ling'er originally wanted to escape, but thinking about her experience over the years, she retreated.
Let's not talk about whether she can escape, even if she can, she doesn't know any craftsmanship, and she doesn't know any kung fu, what do you want to do for a living? How can you protect yourself from being caught and sold by traffickers?
Over the years, she has also seen clearly that in this world, it is not easy for a weak woman to live without a man. This time, she was just sold to someone as a daughter-in-law, and if there is a next time, who knows where she will be sold?
What's more, she doesn't want to be a maid to serve people, and she doesn't want to be beaten and scolded at will, now this man looks fierce, and he is just a poor farmer, but he can protect her, and he can give her a bowl of full food. Although she is still unwilling to live with such a man, she can't think of how to have a better life.
Let's do it first, and talk about it one day at a time.
After running away from home twice and being under house arrest by Qin Jixian, Gu Ling'er had long lost the strength to toss, so she was so unwilling to accept her fate and became the most despicable peasant woman she had ever been.
At this time, Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin and his party had also arrived and settled down in Fucheng.
Probably because this throne was not orthodox, and because of the excessive killing, the new emperor took a special fancy to governing this slaughtered land, and almost all the officials sent here had some real skills.
Yes. Even if there are almost all new immigrants here, and there are a lot of things, Shen Jingcheng can still be busy, and he hardly needs Jiang Zhengshu too much, and Jiang Zhengshu continues to be his own teacher step by step.
The days passed without hurry, the spring in the north came very late, and just when Shen Jingcheng was talking about the resettlement of immigrants everywhere, two people from the south came to the door.
Shen Jingcheng was doing business in the yamen, and when he heard someone looking for him, he went out to see two strangers.
I saw that the people who came were two middle-aged men, they were dressed in literati green shirts, and when they saw Shen Jingcheng, they immediately bowed deeply.
"I've seen Lord Shen."
"You are ......" Shen Jingcheng looked at the two suspiciously.
He was pretty sure he hadn't seen either of them, and he didn't know them.
"We belong to the Jiang family in Zhongzhou, and we heard that our clan uncle is here, so we came to look for him." One of them said to Shen Jingcheng without being humble or arrogant.
"Your uncle?" Shen Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood something.
Zhongzhou Jiang family, clan uncle?
Who else is he surnamed Jiang here besides Jiang Zhengshu?
Seeing that Shen Jingcheng was a little stunned, the two immediately smiled and said again: "Yes, our clan uncle's name is Jiang Zhengshu. ”
"Oh." When Shen Jingcheng heard this, he glanced at the two of them lightly and said, "Then you two wait a minute, I'll ask." ”
Shen Jingcheng didn't invite the two of them to sit down, and after speaking, he turned around and walked straight to the back of the yamen.
The courtyard behind the prefect's yamen is a three-way street, Jiang Zhengshu and a group of students are the first to enter, when he passed, Jiang Zhengshu was giving a lecture to a group of students, and when he saw Shen Jingcheng coming, he put down the book and let the students read it by themselves first, and walked out.
"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Zhengshu asked.
Since he hit here, although Shen Jingcheng has hardly needed him, he will occasionally find him.
"Two people came to the yamen to look for you, saying that they were from the Jiang family in Zhongzhou." Shen Jingcheng said about the appearance characteristics of the two people outside, and then said, "Do you want to see them?" If you don't want to see them, I can let them go. ”
After listening to Shen Jingcheng's words, Jiang Zhengshu was silent for a long time and said, "No need, I'll go and have a look." ”
Although he hadn't seen the Jiang family again in all these years, he knew in his heart that he had so many students in the capital, and it was impossible for the Jiang family not to know that he was here in Shen Jingcheng.
But for so many years, those people didn't look for him early or late, but at this time, he didn't believe that these people were fine.
However, if you can find him a person who can only teach, does it mean that there is no more useful person in the family?
Jiang Zhengshu had more expectations in his heart, and his feet walked as fast as the wind.
Shen Jingcheng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at his fast pace.
Isn't Jiang Zhengshu disgusted with the Jiang family? Even when he was an official, he specially warned him not to let him have any contact with the Jiang family, why is he still so impatient now?
Of course, Jiang Zhengshu couldn't wait, he had long been looking forward to the evil consequences of those people, if those two people came to report his funeral today, how happy it would be!
Jiang Zhengshu hurriedly came to the front office, and when he saw the two figures that seemed strange and familiar, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
He hadn't seen each other for years, and he couldn't remember what these two were called.
The two men stood in the courtyard of the yamen awkwardly for a long time, and then saw an old man with a white beard and hair coming in a hurry, followed by Shen Jingcheng, who had just left.
The two of them knew who it was almost immediately, and immediately straightened their clothes and immediately bent down to salute Jiang Zhengshu.
"Hello uncle."
After saying hello, one of the men immediately couldn't wait to introduce himself: "Uncle, I'm Jiang Mingyuan, and my father is ......."
"No introduction." Jiang Zhengshu didn't want to listen to their explanations, so he only asked with excitement: "What are you two doing here?" Is there something going on in the clan? ”
