After a while, there was a terrible howl in the courtyard.

I was so excited that I hurried to the door to check.

This look frightened me, and I saw that the third sister was grabbing the ears of the little son of the Xiao family and dragging him out.

Wei Qi followed behind them silently, seemingly a little frustrated.

I didn't know why, so I reprimanded loudly: "How can you pull the ears of the little boy? ”

The third sister ignored me, and kept carrying the little son of the Xiao family out of the courtyard before saying, "If you dare to do this again, break your dog's legs!" ”

Wei Qi and the little son of the Xiao family drooped their heads and ran away.

I was a little confused, and when I saw the third sister coming towards me, I was so frightened that I turned around and ran.

Later, I learned that the third sister was taking a bath and was broken in by the little son of the Xiao family and Wei Qi.

I thought that this matter had been revealed, but who knew that the governor knew about it.

On this day, the concubines watched Xiao Xiaogongzi receive ten lashes throughout the whole process.

It was only at this time that I realized that the governor had been so indulgent to the third sister.

I thought I was from the past, and I knew that this man might have other ideas.

The third sister has a separate courtyard, and she can freely enter and exit the inner and outer courtyards, but she can't go out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, because the gate is guarded by soldiers, and idlers are not allowed to pass through.

Her food and clothing are also different from others, we only have three dishes per meal, and she has four dishes, two of which are meat.

Also, every time she feasts, she doesn't go to accompany those generals, but only with a group of servants.

But those servants all live in the courtyard, messing around and dirty, and the food is also very poor, even our concubines are not as good.

I'm a little scared, I have a lot of trouble with her, will I be retaliated by her one day?

So, I stayed quietly in the governor's mansion for more than a year, during which many concubines were given away by the governor, and then they were recruited.

At this time, I am already an old man in the house, as long as I don't go to the place guarded by the guards, I can walk around like the third sister.

On this day, A-Niang suddenly came to me, saying that my younger brother Xu Bao also wanted to be an official, and asked me to blow the pillow wind with the governor.

I shook my head and said that the governor was not good at talking.

In fact, the Governor hadn't seen me for a long time.

But he often went to see his third sister, and sometimes ate with her.

Ah Niang was a little unhappy and asked me if my wings were stiff, so I refused to help.

I have a hard time, but I don't want to be looked down upon by my mother, so I just say give it a try.

At noon, I saw that the governor would not come at this time, and quietly entered the courtyard of the third sister.

The third sister's courtyard is very large, there are no flowers and plants in it, but there is a high pavilion, standing on the pavilion, you can see the situation outside the governor's mansion.

I looked left and right, and saw the third sister sitting on the gazebo, silently looking out.

Carrying the corner of the skirt on the high platform, I looked along the line of sight of the third sister, and saw a group of young military attachés standing there, all heroic and cool.

My heart jumped, could it be that the third sister fell in love with which general?

At this time, the third sister turned her head and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

I smiled and sat down on the stone bench, "Mother asked me to take care of you more, and when she is free, I will make a cotton dress and send it." ”

The third sister sneered, turned her face and didn't speak.

I said, "Third sister, A-Niang asked you to mention it to Du Du and get an errand for my younger brother Xu Bao." ”

Third sister: "I'm not available." ”

I was a little angry: "The governor is so good to you, what's wrong with you opening your mouth?" My brother became an official, don't you also have a light on your face? ”

Third sister: "Get out!" Don't bother me with your family's. ”

I was angry and pointed at her and said, "No wonder my mother said that you are a white-eyed wolf, sure enough, now you are trembling, and you don't even recognize your mother's family?" ”

The third sister looked at me coldly, looked at me furiously, and had to rush off the high platform angrily.

A few days later, several dancers suddenly lived in the courtyard of the third sister, and a mother-in-law guarding the door was arranged.

I wanted to go in, but was stopped by the doorkeeper, who said, "If you want to go in, you have to go back to the girl first." ”

No, I had to come back.

In the second year, there were a lot of Western Regions flowers planted in the garden of the house, and these flowers were so beautiful that everyone occasionally ran to pick them and put them on their heads.

One day, I saw a young general take out a handful of loquat from his arms and give it to the third sister, who took it and smiled sweetly at him.

I was overjoyed and wanted to get closer to see what the general looked like, but he quickly left.

Since then, I have been keeping an eye on my third sister's movements.

So I found that when she saw that I was cold-faced, she was very warm to those young and handsome generals, and often greeted me with a smile.

I saw no less than three young generals who were very obsessed with her, and sent her things from time to time, and she did not refuse to come, and accepted them all.

But she didn't like Wei Qi very much, because when Wei Qi saw her take over those generals' things, she would sneer and sneer, and her words were extremely sharp.

Whenever this happens, I have to step forward to help my third sister.

Later, the young generals did not appear again, and the governor moved the location of his office to the outer courtyard, and ordered that female dependents should not be allowed to go to the outer courtyard.

But one time, I saw my third sister climb out of the courtyard wall, and wondered where she was going and how she would come back.

Coincidentally, the governor happened to come in from the outer courtyard, and I hurriedly told him about the third sister going out over the wall.

I saw that Du Du's face changed greatly, and after running quickly into the courtyard of the third sister to confirm, I checked which wall she climbed out from, and then shouted to the guards to go out and arrest people.

I've never seen the governor so flustered, and I can't help but feel apprehensive.

An hour later, the third sister was brought back, and she was caught by the governor in one hand, but she was eating a string of sugar gourds in the other.

I glanced at Dudu's face and saw that he had a straight face, but he didn't look angry.

After that, there were a few more maids in the courtyard of the third sister, who followed her inch by inch.

The servants and maidservants never appeared again.

Even a few dancers in the same courtyard as her were punished with a leather whip.

In the autumn of another year, the governor was ordered to go out to suppress the bandits, and he was gone for several months.

We, the concubines, were bored, so we played the leaf cards in the house.

The maidservants and mothers-in-law in the house also began to be lazy, and the cats were roasting the fire in the house, refusing to go out to guard the door.

No one knew that the third sister escaped from the governor's mansion at some point and never came back.

When the maidservants found out that they were missing, the entire Governor's Mansion was shocked.

I wondered, the Governor's Mansion had a good life, but she wanted to escape, it was really a brain in water.

A month later, the governor returned to the palace.

He was dressed in armor, his face was full of anger, and his beard had been cut off, and he looked very vicious.

The housekeeper trembled with fright, knelt on the ground and reported the little dancer's escape.

The governor closed his eyes and pondered for a while, waved his hand to the chief to go outside to receive the punishment, and then he got up and went to the courtyard of the third sister, and stayed in it for a long time before coming out.

When he came out, he took a letter, stared at me for a long time, and ordered me to be dragged down and tortured.

I was inexplicably beaten with fifty boards, and I was dragged down to be drugged until I passed out.

After that, I was sent out of the Governor's Palace.

Luckily, my father also made a friend in the Governor's Palace, and he sent me to the hospital for treatment and sent someone to inform my parents.

My father and brother soon came to me, and when they saw that I did not ask about my injuries, they blamed me for offending the Governor, and he was reprimanded by the Governor.

He also asked me where the third sister had gone.

Where she goes, how do I know.

Within a year, my father was dismissed on charges of accepting bribes and embezzling taxes and money.

Fortunately, the amount of money embezzled by my father is not large, and he made up the deficit in time, otherwise it would not be dismissal, but exile or death.

The father and mother were very angry, blamed the third sister for the dismissal, and said that if she hadn't fled without permission, her family would not have been so unlucky.

Now the official is lost, and this life is over.

They were furious and searched for someone, but they couldn't find anyone anywhere.

A year passed like this, and one day, the eldest sister came to visit her father and told them that she had seen the third sister in Qinchuan County.

also said that she took her adoptive father's adoptive mother's two sons, and lived a prosperous life in the county, and she didn't know how happy she was.

The father and mother were furious, and immediately took a few servants to Qinchuan County.

The eldest sister kept taking them to the third sister's courtyard, and watched her father and mother bring people in, and she stood outside and watched quietly.

Not long after, my father and mother came out and went to the county government to report to the official, saying that her daughter had committed suicide by hanging the beam.

Cases like this, especially cases where parents kill their children, are not uncommon, and the county order only allows the priest to check it, and it is classified as a family dispute and is not filed.

I didn't feel good in my heart, so I asked my eldest sister why she didn't have to do this when she watched her father and mother kill her third sister, even if it was just to beat her.

The eldest sister only said coldly: "People like her don't respect their parents, disregard for others, and don't deserve to live." ”

I looked at the gentle and gentle eldest sister, but when I said the most heartless words in my mouth, my hairs stood on end.

Later, under the recommendation of his uncle-in-law, his father defected to King Cheng and worked as a staff member in the Chengwang Mansion.

At this time, my second cousin had become a concubine in the Chengwang Mansion.

Later, King Cheng rebelled, but was suppressed by the governor and his troops.

As soon as King Cheng fell, all his followers were captured and thrown into prison to wait for the Autumn Queen to be beheaded.

My family was tried by the governor alone.

The governor sat behind the desk and asked why my father and mother had killed my third sister.

My mother was lying on the ground and didn't dare to answer, and my father couldn't even speak.

The governor asked again, and my mother made up a reason for this, to the effect that she was angry with the governor.

I saw that Du Du smiled, and with a wave of his hand, someone brought the eldest sister in.

The governor said to Ah Niang that as long as she strangled her eldest sister on the spot, she could live.

Ah Niang agreed without thinking about it, and took off her belt and went to Elder Sister.

The eldest sister struggled desperately, but her hands and feet were held down, and she couldn't escape at all.

A-Niang cried and tightened her belt, but the eldest sister never died.

I watched in horror as I collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

I don't know how long it took, the eldest sister was finally strangled to death by A-Niang.

The governor laughed, and his cold gaze turned to me again.

I burst into tears and my teeth chattered.

The younger brother was directly frightened, and began to babble gibberish, scolding people upside down.

I don't know where I got the strength, so I grabbed him and covered his mouth.

After A-Niang strangled the eldest sister, the whole person was in a trance.

The governor really let her go, and he let me go, but he didn't let my father and brother go.

My mother and daughter were dragged to the trafficker's market to sell, and finally I was bought by a foreign merchant, and my mother was bought by a bustard in Goolan.

A few years later, I occasionally heard that the governor had become regent, and that one man was above ten thousand.

Some people also say that the regent loves to watch the Hu Xuan Dance the most, and his favorite concubines in the house are all Hu Xuan dancers.

But he had no children in his life, and he did not have a princess.

The picture in the dream came to an abrupt end.

I woke up from my dream, my heart still beating fast.

I looked at the veil above my head and pinched myself.

Fortunately, it's all a dream, and I'm not a concubine, but a dignified wife.

The younger brother is fine, and he has not been beheaded.

As for Dad, fortunately he is alive as well.

I rolled over and got off the kang and woke my husband up. "It's not dawn yet, what are you doing when you go out so early?"

I glanced at him and said softly, "Just go out for a walk." ”

The husband immediately sat up and put on his coat: "I'll be with you." ”

So, the two of us went out into the courtyard and looked around.

Nowadays, the market is very wide, and the entrance lights of those inns are hung in front of them, which are clearly extinguished.

I thought about the scene in the dream, and then I looked at the present, and there was a sense of unreality.

"It's cold outside, let's go back." My husband took off his cloak and put it on me.

I nodded, "Okay." ”

Holding my husband's hand, he and I returned home.

The following days were plain and comfortable.

My grandfather and grandmother lived to be ninety-nine years old and died without illness.

Dad also lived for more than eighty, and before leaving, he grabbed his brother's hand and called Ah Niang's name.

I know that although Ah Niang is short-tempered and often beats and scolds her children, she is very good to her father, she gives all her love to her father, and what she gives to her children is a little conscience.

When her conscience is gone, she can kill any child without mercy.

And my father is a heartless person, selfish, dark and incompetent, even for his own son, he doesn't have much love.

He and A-Niang are really a perfect match.

I watched as my dad took his last breath, his hands still clutching my brother's sleeve.

"Let's change your clothes early, it won't be easy to change later." The undertaker urged.

I handed him a set of shrouds that I had prepared, turned and walked out of the house.

When I came to the sacred tree, I knelt down and prayed silently to let my father find A-Niang in the underworld, and the two would be with each other forever.

A few years later, when I was lying in bed and dying, I saw my third sister Sakura again.

She is still so young, like a girl, and I am already dying, even if I have eaten the Zhuyan Pill, the mortal body is still decaying.

I took Sakura's hand and said, "Third sister, don't hate your father and mother, and don't hate your eldest sister, they have already been punished." ”

I wanted to tell her about the dream, but I didn't know how to say it.

Sakura looked at me with pity and gave me a red pill: "If you eat it, you can prolong your life for fifty years." ”

I shook my head, but still took the pill, and I wanted to give it to my husband.

In this life, he has been with me for the longest time, more than my father and mother have given me.

I didn't have anything to repay him, so I could only borrow flowers to offer the Buddha.

Sakura didn't say anything, and waved her hand to perform a Changchun trick on me.

I feel better, but I also know that mortals have a limited lifespan, and my limit has come.
