Chapter 73: It's just a caged bird
"Concubine Yi?" Magerine asked.
Mama Fang nodded and said, "When the concubine was favored, grandma, you were not yet born, and the year she was born, grandma was probably seven or eight years old, so it was normal not to know this person." ”
Mei Guerlan knew about Concubine Yi. In his previous life, when Huo Zhaogang talked about his aunt Concubine Hui, he mentioned Concubine Yi by the way. However, she just knew that there was such a person in the palace, and she didn't know any more.
Mama Fang continued: "As soon as Concubine Yi entered the palace, she won His Majesty's favor, and for a while, she was in the limelight, and other nobles in the harem had to avoid her edge. even alarmed the previous dynasty, many old ministers stood up, accusing the concubine of being the demon woman who calamified the country, comparing her to Su Daji, Zhao Feiyan, Yang Yuhuan, and bluntly saying that her favor was a sign of the country's demise. ”
Mei Guerlan smiled faintly and said: "Those old antiques love to do such things, and they usually guard women strictly, and once something happens, they will push women out of the black pot." ”
Mama Fang didn't understand this, she responded indiscriminately, and continued: "Anyway, Your Majesty ignored them back then, and still went her own way, and spoiled that Yi Guifei in the sky and on the ground." It's a pity that Concubine Yi's life was not good, she went at a young age, and it is said that she died a very tragic death......"
"When Concubine Yi was alive, people respected her on the surface, but they looked down on her in their hearts. As soon as she died, people said that she was born with a thin life, even if she had a splash of wealth and supreme favor, it was empty after all. ”
"These female slaves of Xianbei Country are the lightest and cheapest people, if they roll in the mud pit all their lives, they may be able to survive a little life, and once they hit the big luck, they were smashed on the head by the high Lilu, at first glance it is quite beautiful, but in the end, they have to return it all!"
Mei Guerlan naturally understood the meaning of Mama Fang's words, which was nothing more than saying that people born as slaves like Wu Moyun's biological mother and Concubine Yi should not expect too much, and what does not belong to them will never belong to them.
According to the Four Books and the Five Classics, people have dignity and humility, nobility and humility, and there are relatives and enemies. But I looked at the world with cold eyes, but I felt that the people living in this world were all the same. Mei Guerlan turned her head to Yingchun and said, "Sometimes, this background is not so important, most of the time it can't decide anything, it's just that everyone can't get over that hurdle in their hearts." ”
In her previous life, she couldn't pass the level in her heart, even if Huo Zhaogang did so much, she insisted on being the daughter-in-law of the county government's family, and never married low.
"If you have a good background, you may not end well."
Her Mei Guerlain's background is not noble, but what happened to her previous life?
"Those who come from a bad background may not always be inferior. Sister Zhutao is a concubine, didn't she also marry the prince of the county and become the wife of the prince? ”
When Yingchun heard this, he said unconvinced: "That Huo Shizi has a bad character, and something will happen sooner or later!" ”
Mei Guerlan smiled slightly and said, "So, is Huo Shizi's birth noble?" ”
The sentence "......" made Yingchun speechless.
Listening to Mei Guerlan's words, Mama Fang finally reacted in hindsight, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Grandma, don't be angry, the old slave didn't mean anything disrespectful to the third master's biological mother, the old slave is just, just a ......."
Muelle beckoned her to get up, and said gently, "I know what you guys think, none of you are snobs. It's just that the Xianbei Kingdom has been at war with our Great Jin Dynasty all the year round, and the people of the Great Jin Dynasty are unbearable, so when they look at each other, they have more hatred for their family and country. ”
Yingchun and Mama Fang were silent.
"As everyone knows, the two countries are at war, and the lives are devastated, and it is always the ordinary people on both sides who suffer. The common people hated each other, but they didn't get any good. The biological mother of the third master and Concubine Na Yi are slave girls or female protagonists, and they have not escaped their tragic fate all their lives, which is not their fault. ”
"Whose fault is that?" Yingchun asked.
Whose fault is it? This is a question that will never be answered.
Mei Guerlan's face gradually became sad, she shook her head, and said to Mama Fang, "You just said that Concubine Yi died tragically, I think it is a relief. Just imagine, when she was in Xianbei Country, she had a bad time, because she was captured in the war to Dajin, and the little girl lived in a foreign country, you can imagine how difficult it was. Even if he was favored by His Majesty later and had nominal wealth, he was just a caged finch for the Son of Heaven to play with and make the world laugh. If I were in her position, I wouldn't be sure if I would be able to last that many years! ”
Mama Fang saw that there were tears in the corners of Mei Guerlan's eyes, and her head drooped even lower, "The old slave should die, make grandma sad!" ”
Mui Guerlan wiped the tails of her eyes, smiled and said, "It's far away when you talk about it." ”
At this time, the curious voice of Camellia suddenly came from outside.
"Hey, third master, what are you doing standing here, why don't you go in?"
Mei Guerlan, Yingchun, and Mama Fang looked at each other, and immediately stopped the topic in their mouths.
As soon as the camellia finished asking, Wu Moyun walked in.
Mama Fang hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain for him, lowered her head, and was a little afraid to look at the eyes of the third master.
In the house, Yingchun's expression was also strangely embarrassing. The three masters and servants were talking about other people's biological mothers behind their backs, and they happened to be listened to, and this is what the thief said.
Yingchun muttered in his heart: I don't know which sentence the third master heard and which one he didn't hear, Amitabha, I hope he has a lot, don't blame them!
Magerlain was as calm as ever.
The words she said just now were sincere, and she had a clear conscience.
"Did the third master have a good time today?" When Mure Guerlain saw the man sitting down on the opposite side of the beauty couch, she asked.
Wu Moyun's expression was not abnormal, and he casually grabbed some peanuts and peeled them in his hand to eat, "Okay." Today, the master of the school has assigned a lot of homework, and he is busy with his homework, so he can't eat at your place at noon. ”
"Then lunch must have been hastily solved, this time I'm hungry, let's go outside to eat."
Muellen said and was about to get off the couch.
Wu Moyun said, "No, just eat on the kang." ”
Mei Guerlan understood, so she gave Yingchun a look, "You and Mama Fang go and bring all the food from Jinshizhai, and then you two don't have to wait, go back and rest." ”
"Yes, Grandma!"
Mama Fang and Yingchun were blessed with their own blessings, and they were both relieved, wiping the sweat on their foreheads.
The camellia didn't know what was going on, and when she saw that Yingchun and Mama had gone out, she turned her head and smiled at the master on the kang and said: "The slave maid just helped the crescent moon take a bath, and watched her sleep, and now she comes to serve the grandmother and the third master, and next month, I want to give the slave a few more money."
