I felt like vomiting, really wanted to vomit. And then I actually vomited.
Why can't I wake up after vomiting?
I heard someone outside ask: "Little sister, what do you think?"
"Yeah." Lin Yutong responded vaguely and pressed his acupuncture points to suppress the surging feeling of wanting to vomit.
She reluctantly opened her eyes, and as soon as she felt it, she knew that she was on a running carriage. There was a small wooden bucket beside the couch, and most of the vomit was thrown into the small wooden bucket.
She reached out and scooped up the charcoal ash in the charcoal basin placed in the carriage with the small shovel on the side, covered it with the dirt, and then closed the lid of the small wooden barrel.
The carriage was moving very fast, and the road conditions were not good. The carriage looked dim, and the interior was old. But the configuration was good. Not everyone's carriage has a place to fix the charcoal pot and small wooden barrel.
The place where the charcoal basin is fixed is originally the charcoal basin, and the bracket above can also fix the teapot.
The place where the small wooden barrel is fixed is not supposed to be the small wooden barrel. That is the place where the food box is placed.
She was weak and pushed herself up to sit up, and when she got up, she heard a cry from behind. Only then did Lin Yutong realize that there was a girl sleeping on the couch of the carriage.
Or, this is not called sleeping, but called fainting.
It was so violent that I almost fainted.
Lin Yutong looked at the person on the couch. She was a girl who must have been around fourteen or fifteen years old. When she sat up, she realized that she was wearing a woman's hair.
This is a young girl who is already married.
As for her appearance, she has an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, a moderately straight nose, plump lips, and an upper-medium complexion, which makes her look approachable.
She stood up, holding the armrest in the carriage with one hand, and quickly tidied her hair with the other hand. She looked up and saw Lin Yutong looking at her, and smiled: "Little sister, you woke up first? I slept deeply this time, but I felt like vomiting again.
?" As he said that, he quickly looked at the small wooden barrel, as if he was very upset that he didn't take care of her.
Lin Yutong smiled and didn't care. But judging from the title, he had some guesses in his heart.
There was a clear male voice outside calling myself little sister.
Nowadays, this young woman also calls herself little sister.
And judging from the appearance of this little woman, she was very polite to him. Being close to her was a bit lacking.
Then, the possibility of being the original sister is eliminated, I am afraid that she is the sister-in-law.
She tentatively called out: "Sister-in-law?"
The woman raised her head and said, "Yeah," "But what's wrong with me? Otherwise, I'll call you brother..."
Before he finished speaking, a male voice from outside came: "Little sister, please bear with me a little. Nowadays, time is of the essence. If we get the news earlier, we can leave earlier. If we delay it for half a day, I'm afraid that the refugees behind will
I caught up with him."
Refugees?
Lin Yutong responded: "I'm fine, my brother is just on his way."
Then the male voice said: "Look after my little sister."
It's for this little woman.
The woman responded. She stood up and sat aside: "Little sister, lie down and have a rest. There is still a long way to go. How about you try holding a sour plum in your mouth?"
Lin Yutong shook his head: "Lying down is not as comfortable as sitting. Sister-in-law, just sit. I can just lean here and take my time."
After all, the woman handed over a sour plum and said, "Suppress the disgusting feeling in your heart."
Lin Yutong took it and put it in his mouth. He leaned on the carriage and just closed his eyes and rested his mind. In fact, at this moment, his mind was empty and the memories of the original owner were released.
The memory of the original owner, a little girl, was very simple. In her memory, it was a small house with two entrances. She rarely set foot in the front yard, and mostly stayed in the inner house.
In this inner house, apart from her, there was an old nanny who looked after her, and the old nanny's two granddaughters. There was no one else.
The only relative in the family is his brother who is three years older.
These two children are considered to be poor people. Their mother died when they were young. The girl Yu Tong was three or four years old when her mother died of illness. She and her brother Yu Liang were raised by their father in the old house. There were only two brothers and a sister in the old house, with a few children.
People. The two old ladies, the rest of them have come and gone, I don’t know how many times they have changed since they were young.
The father of these two children is a general who guards the border, but he is not the chief general. He has been promoted to deputy general and deputy general in rotation, and I don’t know what level he has reached now.
There is no letter from there. In my hometown, Yu Liang was only six or seven years old when he was sent back. How could he know how to communicate with that country? After going back and forth like this, Yu Tong had no information about the communication with his father in his mind.
.
It's as if there are no such brothers and sisters there. Anyway, my hometown has a hundred acres of land, which is enough to support the two children.
However, this Yu Liang did not grow crooked. The old nanny who followed him was said to be the nanny of the biological mother. She was serious about thinking about the child. At the same time, she helped take care of the fields and rented them to someone.
How much to harvest, etc., etc., before Yu Liang grew up, this nanny had been taking care of her. After saving money, she used the little money left at home to send Yu Liang to study in a private school. At least she got to know a few people.
Later, when Yu Liang was thirteen years old, his grandma passed away. But at least, Yu Liang was able to stand on his own feet. Yu Liang took care of the housework single-handedly.
Compared with Yu Liang, Yu Tong's family did not have the conditions to provide a life for a young lady. She followed her grandma to learn female beauty. She started sewing when she was five years old. Now she is thirteen years old. She has been sewing for eight years and has been sewing for nearly two years.
At the beginning of the year, I started to do some embroidery work for takeout. As for reading, I also read it. Those textbooks for enlightenment, Yu Liang learned them and taught them to his younger sister. I really would be blind if I didn’t do them. As for handwriting,
It can only be said that it is barely enough to read. There is no extra money at home to buy an extra pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
In his memory, the news about his father was also obtained occasionally from his mother-in-law. Lin Yutong pieced together the scattered information. If there was no biased evaluation in the words of his mother-in-law, it was roughly that Yu Jian,
It's not a thing. He didn't want to see his original wife in the first place, but now that his original wife is dead, it's just right to send his legitimate son and daughter back to his hometown, which is beneficial to his promotion.
On this point, Lin Yutong agrees. Generally, family members of generals guarding the border cannot follow you. Without parents, wife and children in your hometown, the court cannot trust you. Therefore, if you have no parents and your wife is dead, sending your legitimate son and daughter back is a sign of loyalty.
It is an act of loyalty. As for him, whether it is a remarriage or a reborn child, in terms of etiquette and law, they are not as noble as his legitimate son and legitimate daughter.
What Mammy said is generally not wrong. She must have married another wife and had children there.
Just treat it as waste.
Yu Liang started to support the family at the age of thirteen, and he would definitely not be able to go to school. It is said that the children of the poor have already become the masters of the family. Children without parents like this will grow up by stumbling around on their own. He often walks around outside and is lively.
, at such a young age, he could barely support the family.
The family had nothing but income from the farm. As for him, relying on his young age, quick legs, and willingness to work hard, he began to match other people's businesses and started a middle-aged business to earn some money.
After getting the money, he didn't build a farm or shop in his hometown. Instead, he asked a familiar merchant to bring some southern goods from the south. Even if he made a profit of thirty or fifty taels of silver here, others would look down upon him, but he would.
.This is not a small amount of money for the brother and sister.
But the money cannot be touched. This is what Yu Liang said to his sister: "...We are in our hometown, and no one has taken care of us for so many years. But in two years, we will be useful, and we will definitely take care of it over there.
So, you have to make plans early.”
Yu Liang didn't say anything about the plan, and Yu Tong was a girl who had never left the house before, so naturally she didn't ask. It was always whatever her brother said.
Originally, he was slowly accumulating money in this way, and in a year or two, Xu would have prepared a retreat as Yu Liang said.
But unfortunately, there was a severe drought in the local area this year, and the fields had no harvest. From the beginning of the year to the autumn harvest, not a drop of rain fell. As for Yu Liang, the family has a lot of food. At this time, he only kept enough for the family.
So I went to a grain store and sold my family's grain at a high price, but also sold my family's farmland and village at a low price. I got the money, packed it up when I came back, and quietly prepared to leave.
As a result, before she left, an old relative whom the family had only heard of but had never seen came to find her.
She is a cousin of the grandfather of the Yu family. An old lady came here with her granddaughter. It was also a disaster and she came here just to find a way to survive. She said that she had made an agreement with the old lady of the Yu family a few years ago.
Make love at home.
When the letters and keepsakes from that year were actually produced, this little granddaughter Shao Hua became Yu Liang's wife and Yu Tong's sister-in-law.
But after the old lady settled her granddaughter, she couldn't hold her breath and went away.
The old lady was buried in a hurry, and the three of them moved. Yu Liang often ran around outside, so he had better information than others. Due to drought and famine, there were people selling their sons and daughters everywhere. Now if they can survive for a while, they can enter
It’s hard to survive the winter. Previously, a large amount of old grain appeared on the market, and many of them were mixed with some weeds and gravel. Others didn’t know this kind of thing, but Yu Liang knew it! I’ve seen grains given to people for disaster relief before.
Riga stuff is like this.
Such grains are now sold at high prices. If you don't have money, you can trade your family's land, wife and children for grains.
This is not normal.
Yu Liang came back and told Yu Tong these things. The girl listened attentively. She didn't quite understand what was involved. But Lin Yutong understood the meaning. If the relief grains were resold, what kind of relief would be used?
At first, everyone may not be able to react, but later on, when the people who are being forced have no other choice, chaos will definitely occur.
Therefore, Yu Liang did not dare to delay at all and left immediately.
There are still a few old servants at home, and Yu Liang originally said he would take them away. But their parents and relatives are here, where can they go?
There is only one old nanny who is looking after Lin Yutong, and she can't leave. Her daughter's house is nearby, so her flesh and blood cannot be separated.
There is still some old grain left in the house. If the old woman is left to look after the house, the grain will be enough for her to eat for a year. There is also an acre of vegetable land and half an acre of pond in the backyard. In previous years, the produce there would have been more than ten taels.
Money. As long as she takes good care of it, those things are more than enough to feed her.
There was only a 16-year-old man who went out with a 15-year-old daughter-in-law, a 13-year-old sister, and an old carriage that was said to be his mother's dowry. All three of them were sewn with one hundred taels of gold.
Each person has a few taels of silver notes and scattered silver, and some dry food on the carriage, which can last for a while.
Without guards, if the three of them met the refugees, it would be really fatal. Therefore, at this time, the only thing they needed to hurry up was time.
With a general idea in her mind, she opened her eyes and saw Shao Hua looking out of the carriage with a worried look on his face. She also looked over. At this time, the scenery outside was a little unclear. It was getting late, but there was no place to stay.
It’s a very cold day in the wilderness, what should we do?
There was a sound of whips being raised outside and no voices could be heard. You didn't need to ask Lin Yutong to know how tired Yu Liang was sitting outside.
But there is only one horse, and if we keep going like this, we probably won’t be able to survive until dawn.
She tried to ask: "Where is my brother going?"
Yu Liang seemed a little surprised that his sister would take the initiative to speak, "Where to go? To the capital! There is always a bowl of rice at the feet of the emperor."
But where are you now?
Lin Yutong tightened his cloak, "How far is it from the capital now?"
"It's far away from the capital." Yu Liang's voice sounded less clear and dry than before, with a bit of dryness. Lin Yutong even heard him swallowing hard: "We will leave Liaoyang soon. Three counties were affected. Only
The three counties of Houcheng, Gaoxian and Liaoyang are the most serious. The front is the junction of the three counties. After passing this place, the front is Shenzhou. As long as we get to the state capital, the situation will get better. This horse should probably run away.
When we get to the state capital, there is a bodyguard bureau there. Let’s find the bodyguard bureau and follow the bodyguard bureau to Beijing. Once we get to the capital, we will think of a way.”
It's quite possible.
Lin Yutong didn't know what county or state it was from, but it sounded pretty reliable.
But, is it so easy at the junction of the three disaster-stricken counties?
She asked this, and Yu Liang was silent for a long time before saying: "That's why I said I was in a hurry! I'm afraid that people here will also react, and we will plunge into the homeless people here, but we can't say...
…”
Sure enough, after the carriage had been driving for about an hour, Lin Yutong heard a sound, and the speed of the carriage suddenly slowed down.
Lin Yutong grabbed the armrest, and Shao Hua quickly lifted the curtain and looked out: "What's wrong?"
In the distance, it looks like stars.
Actually no, it was a lit fire. Needless to say, a lot of people must have gathered there.
Why are there so many people guarding this official road at night? They must be refugees.
Shao Hua whispered: "Otherwise, if the carriage is no longer needed, we will all change into men's clothes and blend in with the refugees."
This is not a bad idea.
Lin Yutong was somewhat impressed by Shao Hua.
Yu Liang gritted his teeth: "It's easy to sneak in, but I'm afraid that after tonight, it will be difficult to enter Shenzhou's city gate."
So what to do?
Lin Yutong looked at the distance and asked Yu Liang: "Brother, can't you ride a horse?"
Yu Liang looked at the horse. If he had been alone, he would have escaped long ago. But wasn't he with two female dependents?
Lin Yutong said: "My brother is thin, and my sister-in-law and I are both light. Three of us can't withstand a big man. Let's just rush over with three of us and a horse. We will bring all the dry food in the car with us when we arrive." Spread it wherever there is more..."
Yu Liang's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Lin Yutong. Without any time to think about it, he said "ok". He lowered the curtain and asked his aunt and sister-in-law to change clothes.
He had already prepared it, so Yu Liang had brought all his old clothes with him. Now he quickly changed into them. His face, hands and neck were all messy with charcoal ash, and his hair was messy like a bird's nest. No one could see it. After their faces became clear, the aunt and sister-in-law walked out from inside.
Yu Liang untied the carriage from the horse, and then helped Lin Yutong get on the horse. She was the smallest and sat at the front. Yu Liang sat in the middle. After getting on, he reached out and pulled Shao Hua up. Yu Liang used ropes to pull the three people up. Tied together, he controlled the horse with difficulty.
Lin Yutong looked at the horse carefully and couldn't help but frown. The horse's physical strength still couldn't keep up. The three people weighed less than two hundred pounds, but the horse looked very strenuous. She asked Yu Liang: "Brother, does he have a dagger?"
Of course there was a dagger in Yu Liang's boot. He immediately understood what Lin Yutong meant. Although it was a pity that the horse was under his butt, he still knew the choice. First, he rode the horse forward slowly, and when he arrived, he said nothing. A knife was stabbed into the horse's body. The horse neighed in pain, raised its front hooves, and stood upright. Yu Liang pulled the reins, but where could they hold them? There were three people tied with one rope, so they couldn't fall off. Go down. Lin Yutong held on to the reins desperately, feeling that half of Shao Hua's body had slipped out of the rope and fell outside. Lin Yutong shouted to Yu Liang to let go of the reins. Yu Liang held the reins with one hand and his wife with the other.
Lin Yutong stopped trying to persuade her. She shook the reins herself, almost lying on the horse. As long as she didn't fall off, the couple couldn't. She patted the horse's neck, let go of the horse's legs, and said, ' There was a sound, and the horse neighed and galloped away.
She held the reins with one hand and threw the dry food hanging on the horse back with the other hand. After throwing away the dry food, no one was seen behind it for the time being.
Shao Hua was hanging like that, with his legs hooked up and not daring to pull him to the ground. Yu Liang had to hold Shao Hua with both hands to ensure that nothing happened. The injured horse ran away and could not stop until it was exhausted. Coming down, Lin Yutong just needs to control the reins and don't run into the wasteland.
It took a full hour and a half before the horse showed signs of fatigue and started walking slower and slower.
Lin Yutong tightened the reins and the horse slowly stopped. Before the three of them could roll off the horse and stop, the horse suddenly fell down, breathing heavily.
Yu Liang neatly cut the rope binding the three people, struggled to stand up, and held his wife with one hand and his sister with the other.
"Is everything okay?" Yu Liang looked around: "We can't stay here for long. We know that one of our horses is injured and the people behind will catch up soon."
Lin Yutong looked at Shao Hua: "I'm fine. I wonder if my sister-in-law was injured just now?"
"It's okay!" He must have been injured a little, it hurts everywhere. But now is not the time to feel pain.
This girl has a lot of tenacity: "I can do it, let's go now."
We were walking on a starry night. We were tired, thirsty and hungry. We couldn't feel the cold now. Let's help each other and move forward.
Yu Liang kept saying along the way: "Come on, come on, we'll be there soon. We'll be there in two miles."
But until we were ten or two miles away, we could see the outline of the city in the distance.
As soon as I saw the place, I felt tired no matter how tired I was. But there was a big difference between seeing and touching. It took me a full two hours of jogging before I actually arrived outside the city gate.
Not to mention Shao Hua, even Lin Yutong felt at this moment that this small body had really reached its limit.
The lights on the city gate are brightly lit, and there is a lamp shining down on it: "You are entering the city early enough. It's only midnight, and the city gate won't open until two hours later. Just wait."
Yu Liang hurriedly said: "My lord, please be accommodating. You guys are from Yunheng Company. When you come back from Gao Xian, you have something extremely urgent to report to your boss... You have a token on your body..."
Lin Yutong didn't know what the name of Yunheng Company was, but since it was reported at this time, it must be of some use.
Sure enough, after Yu Liang said this, a rope was lowered from above.
Yu Liang supported Lin Yutong: "Remember, don't talk too much when you go up, just wait obediently. Hold on tight, close your eyes and don't be afraid, we will go up right away."
Let Lin Yutong come up first.
That’s fine!
Lin Yutong grabbed the rope, and there were even pulls on it. When he reached the top, Lin Yutong didn't need anyone to help him, and he jumped onto the city wall neatly. Then the patrolmen just let go, you can pull it by yourself.
Lin Yutong handed over all the scattered silver he had on him, and then he smiled and said, "Young man knows some rules."
Only then did Shao Hua be pulled up again.
Lin Yutong signaled Shao Hua to take the silver, and Shao Hua took it quickly and stuffed it all in. Only then did he pull Yu Liang up.
Once they reached the city wall, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Liang took out all the money he had and gave it to them before they were willing to send them down.
After getting off the city wall, Yu Liang called out to Lin Yutong and Shao Hua, saying angrily: "You two should hurry up, the shopkeeper is still waiting for a reply."
Lin Yutong and Shao Hua didn't say anything, and just ran away after Shao Hua. These people didn't have any doubts, and they were pulled down when they saw the three of them running away.
Seeing that no one was following, Yu Liang breathed a sigh of relief. He led the two of them up and down the alley, and finally stopped in front of an obscure shop. Then he took the key and opened the door, asking the two of them to follow him.
After the door was closed and the lights in the room were lit, I felt like I had come back to life.
Yu Liang didn't rest, so he went to fetch water from the well at the back, lifted it directly to the front, took the water ladle, and drank two ladles of water each person before he felt better.
"Where is this?" Shao Hua was a little uneasy. He felt scared when he arrived in a strange place and there was no danger.
"This is a friend's place. He went to the south and didn't come back for a year or two. He gave me a key to this place and told me to come to Shenzhou for business and have a place to stay." Yu Liang lay on the kang.
Panting, "It's okay to fix it here, but I'm afraid, we don't go to the escort agency now. There will be more people coming to the escort agency in two days. The little money we have is not enough to cover the cost of a trip."
Therefore, it is better to leave early than late.
Besides, with so many refugees coming here, it’s hard to say how long Shenzhou will be safe.
Then go and find the escort agency tomorrow.
Lin Yutong thought to himself: He probably faked someone else's name when he entered the city before. If he were to be traced, it would be a big deal. It would be better to escape as soon as possible.
The three of them couldn't rest in a strange place. It was dawn, so the three of them washed their faces and tidied up.
Then go straight to the escort agency.
At this time, there was already a queue at the door of the escort agency. The caravan carrying goods had to deal with so many people. They said: "If you can't take them with you, you can't look after them."
You have to follow even if you can't look after you, otherwise there won't even be anyone to help you if something unexpected happens on the road.
Lin Yutong noticed that, sure enough, the city gate of Shenzhou was not opened this morning. It was said that many refugees came one after another from outside the city.
The door of the escort agency was almost surrounded. People said that you can bring someone with you. One hundred taels of silver per person. Pay half of it first, and pay the remaining half on the way. When you get to Dengzhou, which is near the capital, pay the balance. .
But as soon as the price was announced, 80% of the people left. They couldn't afford the money.
These people are shouting that the price has increased tenfold.
Yu Liang couldn't make up his mind for a long time, because there were only one hundred taels for each of the three people. All the scattered silver was given to the defenders of the city.
what to do?
"Let's go!" Lin Yutong said: "I still have five taels of silver hidden and haven't taken it all out. There are also two pieces of jewelry, which are the relics left by my mother. I keep them close to me. With these things, I won't be afraid of being hungry when I get there. die."
Shao Hua also took out a small gold nugget from the corner of her clothes, which weighed about two taels, which must be two taels of silver. In addition, there was a pair of silver bracelets in her hands, "It is important to survive."
Yu Liang gritted his teeth: "Then let's go."
They paid the money neatly and then entered the escort agency. Everything was arranged by others. People who often walked around outside could naturally tell that two of the three were women. When they arranged carriages and horses, they didn't mess around with the arrangements. They were still one of their families. There was a carriage for one person, a groom and a bodyguard, and they followed the motorcade. At noon that day, the auspicious hour had just arrived, and they set off.
There was a huge roar, dozens of horse-drawn carriages, and more than a hundred escorts, and they set out on the road.
When we got on the road, we realized that they only care about escorting us, but not your food and accommodation.
When the time comes, you have to figure it out on your own.
But there is no preparation at all, what should I do?
Others wanted to buy some dry food from the escort agency, but the asking price for a steamed bun was only 100 Wen. If this continues, who can afford it?
It’s not finished until we squeeze everyone dry.
It's okay not to eat in the middle, but you can stay in an inn for the night, but it's really a problem. You can either deal with it casually in the lobby of the inn, or on the carriage parked outside. Or you can pay for it yourself and stay in an inn. .
This kind of inn often hosts escort agencies. As soon as the two parties exchanged glances, they understood everything.
Therefore, if you want a bunk with a bunk bed, you will have to pay one tael of silver. If you want a guest room, even if it is a vacated woodshed, people will ask for ten taels of silver.
The three members of my family only have a total of less than ten taels.
But the house was leaking and it was raining. He didn't pay attention to it while he was driving. Shao Hua had some injuries on his body, and he actually developed a fever during the night.
Lin Yutong can give medicine, but isn't it necessary to have a clear vision? At least it's okay to invite a doctor, and Lin Yutong can secretly change the medicine. You can't conjure medicine out of thin air.
what to do?
I only paid half of the money at the beginning, but I still have the other half with me. As long as you have the money with you, you can spend it as you wish. Focus on the present first, and let’s talk about the future later.
Lin Yutong whispered to Yu Liang that this was the only way to do it now. It was important to save people.
The escort agency brought a doctor with them to pay for the consultation and medication, and it cost twenty taels to open the mouth.
Okay! Grit your teeth and admit it.
The medicine had just been boiled and had not yet been given to Shao Hua to drink. It was still not bright yet, so he was urged to get into the carriage and drive on.
After getting on the carriage with the medicine, Yu Liang lay down here and didn't wake up until noon. The fever had just subsided here, but Yu Liang's illness was getting worse over there.
Lin Yutong said in his heart that if he hadn't come here, the three of them would have been stuck in the middle of the road. Sometimes it really depends on luck in such chaotic times.
He secretly gave Yu Liang medicine, and two hours later, before dark, their fevers were gone.
I no longer dare to endure this journey without eating, drinking or sleeping well.
The food was rough and the accommodation was simple, but at least it was normal.
But the money on my body is getting less and less day by day.
After walking for five days, the distance was almost half gone. According to the previous regulations, I had to pay the remaining half, seventy-five taels.
But the three of them only had fifty-eight taels of silver left.
what to do?
Coming down halfway?
Yu Liang shook his head slightly and whispered: "This area is mountainous and bandits are rampant..."
I also knew that I had two young women with me. If I dared to leave, my fate would be unpredictable.
Shao Hua took off all the silver bracelets, and Lin Yutong could only take out all the gold and silver on his body, including the jewelry in his arms.
Plus the two relic gold hairpins, it's enough.
But Yu Liang picked up the gold hairpin, turned it around, and tears filled his eyes. After a long time, he said: "Put away all the money." He only took the gold hairpin, wrapped it up and put it in his arms.
.
Lin Yutong didn't look at the golden hairpin carefully, but thinking about it, this golden hairpin might have some origins.
Sure enough, Yu Liang cheered up and struck up a conversation with the driver and bodyguard.
"Both of you are travellers. I have never set foot in the capital. However, I think you are very familiar with each other. I would like to ask you something." He asked, took out two coins, and directly
Stuffed it.
The groom glanced back: "What's going on in the capital? It depends on who you ask about?"
"Sir, have you ever heard of Rongguo Mansion?" Yu Liang asked.
Lin Yutong didn't know whether she was surprised or not, but she was really surprised at this time.
Rongguo Mansion?
coincide?
The groom's next words let her know that this was definitely not a coincidence: "Who knows about Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion?"
ah?
Lin Yutong's eyes widened instantly and he took out another golden hairpin from his arms. On the golden hairpin, there was a word 'Jia' engraved on it!
At this time, she finally connected many things.
First, there was the very old carriage, but its specifications and configuration were obviously not something that a small family could own. There was also the tablet that I carried with me now, which said Yu Jia's family name.
Very distant memories followed. It was said that there were three concubines in the "Wen" generation of the Jia family. People in the house didn't often mention it, but they always remembered where these concubines had fallen.
Without exception, they married far away.
The one in the north seemed to be the eldest daughter of a concubine. She married a general named Yu, and then... nothing happened again...
It has been many years since she started here, but she never thought she would come back here again.
She left here, then wandered around, and then she met the fourth master. After that, it was the fourth master in her life. She accompanied the fourth master through all his roads, but the roads she had walked on her own were better and better.
The fourth master has never set foot there.
Over the years, he has never asked her what she has experienced.
She is just her to him.
More than once, she wanted to tell him about the past, but every time, she didn't know how to speak.
It's like hiding your marriage history, you can't talk about it.
And if this once immature self had to walk the same path over again...
She suddenly laughed: That will definitely be different.
She has him, she has to find him. Then she will go with him and ask him to see the road she has walked.
Thinking this way, I still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
I really haven't felt this kind of anxiety for many years.
In the capital city, in a bustling alley, in an inconspicuous house at the end, the whole family was busy working, because the young man at home was sick, and the fever that had not gone away for several days finally went away.
Now, he seems to be more awake. But his throat is swollen and he can't speak.
But this is also Amitabha.
There was a strong smell of medicine in the room. The man on the kang opened his eyes, stared at the roof with a pair of dark eyes, and then looked around. Based on his knowledge, he could not confirm the age of these things for a while.
Then without thinking too much, he put the medicine in his mouth. He frowned slightly but said nothing.
The one who serves is an old nanny who is in her forties, and she is quite rough. It can be seen that the family has some wealth, but that's all. Otherwise, they wouldn't want a rough nun to take care of the family.
Young Master.
This is good news for him.
After drinking the medicine, sleepiness soon came over him. Then the pictures in his mind flashed one after another. After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes. He was confused for a moment, and then frowned.
Why are you here?
This person was originally from a branch of a large family, his name was Jia Heng, and he was fifteen years old.
An honest boy, he has been studying in ethnic studies for several years, but he has not made a name for himself. He comes home to take care of his mother's meager dowry and supplement the family income. The family has few assets, but at most they can have enough to eat.
It can support two or three servants.
The only thing you can take advantage of is your background.
Even if it is a side branch, it is still a big family.
Which company does it come from?
It is from the Jia family of Ningrong Second Mansion.
The fourth master thought it was absurd at first, and then ridiculous. But then he started to think deeply.
Having lived with Tongtong for so many years, I can more or less see something.
Tongtong never commented on Red Mansion, whether she was watching movies, TV series, or reading novels. No matter how others argued, she just listened with a smile.
Even if I told her myself, she would be confused.
Why?
Except in her opinion, all evaluations are one-sided. In her heart, those people are alive.
So, what did she experience back then?
He didn't ask, but she wanted to say it, but she didn't open her mouth. In fact, he could have made a rough guess without asking.
But no matter what she has experienced, isn't she still who she is?
She has walked with him almost all the roads he has walked, so should he come back and accompany her for another walk?
The author has something to say: See you tomorrow. ps: Although it is set in the Red Mansion, the main plot is Fourth Master and Tongtong. There will be no overlap with the previous ones. Today’s update is late, so I will catch the bug later.
Update first. Hundreds of readers left private messages asking to read Red Mansions. This is the subject that received the most feedback after soliciting opinions. I satisfied a special reader before, but now I want to satisfy a readership again, and then I will come back.
I have the final say. After democracy is over, I plan to concentrate, and everyone must obey me!
