Chapter 4 The palace maid is red

Moreover, Chunhong has a kind of arrogance that has lived in the palace for many years, and faintly feels that she does not take herself as the master in her eyes at all, just like a broken settlement who has just arrived here from other places, although she is taken in by the master, she maintains the master's condescending sense of superiority. This made Xiao Xuan feel very uncomfortable.

Chunhong walked far until she came to an apricot tree next to the road, and rested on the trunk. After a brief storm last night, the flowers and leaves grew even more abundantly, and the stamens sprang out overnight. The apricot blossoms of that tree did not wither and fall after the heavy rain, but bloomed more brightly, like the morning glow and shadow of a tree.

The morning sun is not too roasted, but the pink noodles that were originally like peach blossoms are already bright red as if they have been roasted by the sun, and the sun shines on the body of the spring red through the lush flowers and leaves of the apricot tree, speckled with spots.

Chunhong is only when this flower tree is low, can a heart that is about to beat gradually stabilize. She wiped the fragrant sweat on her forehead with the lilac sleeves, but the sweat flowed more and more, so she simply ignored it, and when the breeze blew, Chunhong suddenly felt very happy.

Chunhong sighed softly, don't look at the faint smile in Concubine Xiao's palace just now, in fact, what to say and what not to say, I can't help myself, even this sweat can't flow casually.

However, Chunhong thought of the cold winter wind, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush, this is for the cold winter wind, no matter what she does, she is willing. Recalling last night, the winter wind was carried back, and my heart was like a peach blossom blown down by the wind, and the petals were blown apart.

Chunhongfu's surname is Ouyang Binbin, a native of He, Bei, Cang, and Zhou, and he has been poor since he was a child, and he has two elder brothers, the eldest brother Ouyang Zhu and the second brother Ouyang Biao. Parents died early, Ouyang Binbin followed the two elder brothers to wander around, because the two of them had an upright temperament, and were often bullied because of their strength in the rivers and lakes, and at the same time because of the forced livelihood, so the two brothers went to the Shaolin Temple together to learn martial arts from the monks, and became a monk in the Shaolin Temple.

The two elder brothers fostered Ouyang Binbin in a family at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, the two elder brothers were ten and eight years older than Ouyang Binbin respectively, the two elder brothers were only eighteen and sixteen years old respectively when they were in the Shaolin Temple, and Ouyang Binbin was only eight years old at that time.

When Ouyang Binbin was eight years old, he had already followed the boys of Orion's family up the mountain to chop wood. At that time, the boys of the Orion family were already fourteen years old, and there was a girl in the Orion family who was two years older than her, and was ten years old.

Orion's family is surnamed Dong, the boy's name is Dong Feng, and the girl's name is Dong Xue. A family of four lives a poor life, just like ordinary people's families, she is not good, she is not bad, she just hopes that there will be no war, and she will not encounter disasters and famines, so she will be satisfied.

Maybe it's because there are more desires that bring more troubles. The arrival of Ouyang Binbin broke the peace of this home. Originally, I negotiated with the two brothers for one or two taels of silver a month.

You must know that at that time, a Qipin county official was 3.75 taels a month, and the two elder brothers agreed to come down and actually gave one tael of silver a month! One tael of silver could buy 2 stones of rice, that is, 94.4 kilograms.

Both the Orion couple felt that this deal was simply too profitable, and they made a lot of money. Ouyang Binbin was only eight years old at the time, and how much rice could a little girl eat? Even if she ate one pound a day, she would only eat thirty pounds of rice a month.

The couple has even begun to use the extra silver or two per month to plan their family, and they can buy some fine red bricks to renovate the house made of straw and soil, so as not to crumble every time it rains.

Also, you can save some dowry clothes for your daughter Dong Xue to marry a better family when the time comes, so as not to be like their husband and wife, and then they will not be able to leave this poor place for the rest of their lives. and their son Dong Feng, maybe with this money, he can go to a private school so that he can have a good future in the future.

However, the two elder brothers were monks and soldiers in Shaolin Temple, and Shaolin Temple was already hard, and they all lived by turning into fate and offering incense, and Ouyang Zhu and Ouyang Biao, who had just arrived here, couldn't get silver at all.

Fortunately, the two elder brothers ate and wore food and clothing in the Shaolin Temple, all of which were borne by the Shaolin Temple, if it weren't for this sister, the two brothers would have nothing to worry about. The two elder brothers gave all the five taels of silver they had saved up to the Orion family.

But after five months, the brothers could no longer get any more money. The Orion family had already found a well-known local teacher in Jiangnan, and asked Dong Feng to study there, and by the way, he had a long experience.

Because, in the vicinity of their Shaomuro Mountain, except for the mountains are mountains, there is no good teacher at all. You must know that at that time, for a 14-year-old boy, they could refer to marriage.

However, the two Ouyang brothers did not pay the silver for a long time, and their small wishes for such a peasant family were about to be shattered. The Dong couple saw that the two elder brothers were Shaolin monks, and they did not work hard.

Because, Shaolin Temple will always have some charity activities during the New Year's holidays. At this time, the Shaolin monks will distribute some porridge and steamed buns to the people who come here to burn incense. Moreover, the monks of this Shaolin Temple, there are several superb medical skills, and some of their Orion families have any difficult diseases, which cannot be cured outside, often ask the monks of Shaolin Temple, and they can be cured.

Moreover, the treatment of these monks is different from the doctors outside, who clearly mark the price, and they can't get the money to see a doctor. Those who have money will give more, those who have no money will give less, and those who are so poor that they can't get money will not only be given for free, but also some herbs.

The Dong family has received a lot of favors from the Shaolin Temple, and it can't be said that they can't hand over the silver for the time being, and they will immediately drive their sister away, which is really too much to say.

However, in this way, the Dong couple felt that they were not balanced, and they originally felt that they had chosen a big bargain, but it turned out to be an extra burden. It's hard to get rid of this burden, even if you want to.

Dong's wife began to show Ouyang Binbin's face, and later some gossip and complaints were sent to Ouyang Binbin in person. When Ouyang Binbin was eight years old, he already knew that the world was warm and cold, and the world was hot and cold.

Ouyang Binbin suffered silently in order not to cause trouble to the two elder brothers. She couldn't tell her brother the truth about life here, and every time he came down the mountain to see her, she smiled sweetly.

Ouyang Binbin never competed with Dong Xue for food, and even when she ate, there were always pickles in front of her, and she was embarrassed to clip more. And when Dong Feng picked a piece of meat from the stew and gave it to Ouyang Binbin, he was 'snapped' by Dong's wife and resisted it with chopsticks.

She said: "Stinky boy, do you know how long it will take for our family to eat meat, in order to let you have a good future, your father got up early and went hunting greedily, but now the war is in chaos, and even the prey is becoming more and more difficult to fight, and it is not easy to fight some big beasts, and you have to sell them for money to save." ”
