Extra(2) About those things before Akizuki's death
Qiu Yue was sold to the Dingnan Palace.
Although her life experience is not as miserable as that of Chunhua, there are also places where she is sad.
Qiu Yue's real name is Huang Juhua, and her father and mother picked up a name for her.
In the past, the patriarchal atmosphere of the Dragon Kingdom was very heavy, and the Huang family had three daughters, and they have been looking forward to giving birth to a big fat boy in the future.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and the fourth child is still a daughter, that is, Qiu Yue.
He was the least valued in a family with many children, picking up his sisters' old clothes and wearing them, and his mother was reluctant to even patch her with rags.
"Mother...... It's cold, my clothes and pants are too short, and I have frostbite on my hands and feet, can you give me some thick clothes for my sisters......"
The winter in the Dragon Kingdom is the most frozen, and several times the autumn moon was almost frozen to death on the street.
But even so, her mother would only reprimand her for being ignorant and restless, "You little hooves are still cold?!" I think you are just looking for trouble for my mother, and I don't kill you, a money-loser. ”
This was followed by a beating and Qiu Yue's screams, such things had happened too many times in this family, and the cold eyes of her father and sisters only made Qiu Yue more determined to leave here.
A year later, the younger brother was born, and the sisters thought that life would be better, but they didn't expect it to be even more difficult.
As the least favored child in the family, Qiu Yue is like the family's punching bag, and anyone who comes can kick both feet.
Mother always said that she had restrained her brother, "It's all you." If not, would Dabao have come at this time? Originally, our family should only have four children, just because you now have an extra mouth to eat. ”
Because of her brother's arrival, the family's expenses are greater, so Qiuyue often goes hungry, all because her parents gave her brother food that originally belonged to her.
I don't know how many years passed like this, but everything finally changed completely on the day Qiu Yue was eight years old.
"Daddy, I said, let's sell these girls, now that they have grown up and are beautiful, it is estimated that many big families are willing to want them."
Originally, he wanted to discuss with his parents about working away from home, but Qiu Yue never thought that he would hear such a conversation.
The man thinks his wife's idea is very good, "If all four of them are sold, our Dabao will not be able to find a daughter-in-law in the future." ”
"Not really! Daddy! ”
"Why not? Didn't you say you sold them? Now you're saying no. ”
The woman sat cross-legged on the bed and told her husband what she thought, "I mean, of course, we can't sell all four, we have to keep two to marry and two to sell, if we get married, we can keep the dowry, if we sell them all, what do the villagers think of us." ”
The man lying on the bed also sat up straight at this time, "You are right, you can't sell them all, so which baby do you think is better for us to sell?" ”
Hearing this, Qiu Yue became even more curious, she put her ears close to the door, wanting to hear who was so unlucky, "If you want me to see, this girl Chrysanthemum is the most honest and top-notch, and she will definitely be able to sell it for a good price." ”
The husband didn't like his daughter either, so he immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, you can arrange it, it's better to hurry up, it's not easy to sell when you're older." ”
"I'll ask tomorrow."
Qiu Yue didn't expect them to want to sell themselves, so they didn't move a step outside the door.
The woman opened the door just in time to bump into her daughter outside, but she didn't expect her to be weak at all, "You're here, that's right, come out, mother and talk to you about something." ”
"You want to sell me."
Qiu Yue's voice was not loud at first, but it was the woman who pulled her in a muffled voice, and she suddenly raised her voice, "You want to sell me!" ”
This voice attracted the onlookers of several other children, and the white-eyed wolf brother interjected on the side, "Is it true that mother?" Are you really going to sell her? That's great, so that our family has money and I can live in a room by myself. ”
Qiu Yue looked at her sisters and cried, "Even you don't help me speak?" They said that they would take two marriages and sell two, and I was one of them, and the other was out of the three of you, and if you did not speak for me today, what happened to me soon would be your fate. ”
But she never thought that her three stupid sisters would make trouble over who to marry, she looked at the ruthless relatives in the family, and for the first time felt that blood was the most useless thing.
At this moment, she completely figured it out, "Okay, sell me, as long as you can escape from this home, you can go anywhere." ”
Hearing her say this, the woman was not to mention how happy she was, and her attitude towards Qiu Yue was much better, "That's right, if you are sold to a rich family to be a child bride or something, it is still you who take advantage, this child, just wait to enjoy the blessings." ”
Soon after, the woman looked for several families for her daughter, but none of them were serious, but they didn't care, and whoever offered the highest price would sell them to whomever they wanted.
Coincidentally, the king of Dingnan was fishing with his friends one day, and happened to meet Qiuyue who was about to throw himself into the river, and after he rescued the child from under the water, he found that he was as old as his daughter, and his heart suddenly felt compassion.
"You kid, why do you want to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river at such a young age?"
Qiuyue was not very old at that time, and he stayed at home all day to do farm work, and he had never seen the king of Dingnan, who was admired by everyone, and only regarded him as a kind uncle.
"I don't want to live anymore, my family doesn't like me, and my parents see me as a thorn in the side...... They even wanted to sell me to a big family as a child bride. Saying that, Qiu Yue squatted on the ground and cried.
King Dingnan had some thoughts but didn't say it, he took off his cloak and wrapped the little girl, "Where do you live, I'll send you back." ”
"I don't want to go back...... Qiu Yue didn't want to get on the horse, "as soon as I go back, they will use me as a cow and a horse again......"
That's right...... King Dingnan was silent for a while and asked her if she would like to go back with her, "Then you should go back with this king first, and later this king will send someone to send you back." ”
Qiu Yue heard the man claiming to be the king, and her skirt trembled in fright, "You are the prince?" ”
"Hahahaha! There are still people in the Dragon Kingdom who don't know this king, have you heard of King Dingnan? ”
The girl nodded, "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it." ”
"Now that you have seen it, let's go, this king will take you back."
Back in Dingnan Palace, Qiu Yue really realized what it means to be more popular than people, and also live in this world, the gap is only so big.
When Xiao Wenyuan heard that his father was back, he immediately ran out to greet him, "Father! What kind of fish did my father catch and come back? ”
She didn't see a single fish when she looked left and right, but she saw a child about her own age behind her father, "Who is she?" ”
"Father met me by the river, I'll talk to you later, brothers?" King Dingnan bent down and hugged Xiao Wenyuan on his shoulder, "Let's go, let's go check if your two brothers have a good book, if they can't memorize it today, how about they wash Yuan'er's feet?" ”
King Dingnan did not forget the child behind him, "Come and take care of this little girl to bathe and change clothes, and then get her some ginger soup to warm up, don't catch a cold." ”
Looking at the back of him carrying the girl away, Qiu Yue didn't mention how envious he was.
She was curious about everything around her, "Sisters...... What's the name of that little sister just now? ”
"That's Miss Yuan from our palace." The maid was very kind, and did not dislike her because of her dirty appearance.
Qiuyue took a comfortable bath in Dingnan Wangfu, she was so old to know that taking a bath was such a comfortable thing, in the past, she was always the last to take a bath at home, the water was cold, and there were dirty things floating inside.
"That's nice...... she sighed as she looked at everything around her.
Before lunch, Wen Yuan took his younger brother to find Qiu Yue, "What's your name?" My name is Wen Yuan, this is my brother, what about you? What's your name? Where are you from? ”
Because of the family environment, Qiu Yue couldn't be as lively and cheerful as Wen Yuan, she pinched the corners of her clothes and buried her head in her neck, "I...... My name is Chrysanthemum......"
She had always disliked her name and was ashamed to say it.
"Chrysanthemum...... Chrysanthemum ...... "Listening to Wen Yuan on the other side read a few words, Qiu Yue felt even inferior.
But after a while, Wen Yuan actually praised her name, which Qiu Yue didn't expect, "Gu Yi is like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon, Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Huamao Qingsong comes to praise people, your name is so good, chrysanthemums are noble flowers, you can raise your head and say your name in a dignified manner in the future." ”
Her words made Qiu Yue feel surprised and happy, but she didn't expect that someone would comfort herself like this, "Thank you...... Ah Yuan...... Younger sister. ”
"Hehe, let's go play together, today the imperial grandmother gave me a wooden horse that will not shake and not fall, let's play together, let's take a walk."
She dragged her brother with one hand, and the other hand naturally pulled Qiu Yue over.
The three children were running happily in the house, and Qiu Yue was so happy for the first time since she was born.
But seeing that it was getting darker and darker, and that it was going to rain, she was a little worried, "I have to go back, otherwise they will beat me." ”
"But it's going to rain, and you're going to get wet, so I'll go and tell my father that he can arrange for a carriage to take you back."
Before Qiu Yue refused, Wen Yuan had already run to the study to find his father.
Qiu Yue waited in place tremblingly, thinking to herself, is a cheap person like herself worthy of riding in the carriage of the palace?
Who would have expected that King Nan would follow Wen Yuan out, "You are going back, this king sees that you are playing so well with Yuan'er, don't go back, and after a while, this king will send someone to your house in person to tell them, of course, no silver will be less for your parents." ”
