Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 269 Story
Xiao Lingyun smiled and went to check the dowry.

Five high-quality mahogany boxes, finely crafted and thick, some were saved for her by her father when he was alive, and more were her mother's dowry, which was given to her when she got married.

Those easy-to-handle gold and silver are long gone.

When Xiao Lingyun first got married, she also planned to live a good life with Li Dabiao, even if this was not the man she liked, but when she was young, she never thought about how evil human nature is, all she wanted was to exchange her own heart for others , take good care of your husband and children, and live your life seriously.

At that time, she didn't hide her dowry, and she was willing to use it to supplement the family, so that the whole family could live well, and she was satisfied.

As a result, everyone took her for a fool.

Xiao Lingyun closed her eyes, and said softly: "I once, really wanted to live my life in a gentle, virtuous, sensible and courteous way."

Gu Xiang smiled lightly.

At this time, the snow was falling in full swing outside, and she couldn't make it for a while, so she pulled Xiao Lingyun to sit down, pushed the little girl Zhaodi who was only thinking about Xiao Lingyun to her side, and let Qiuli Went with Cherry to call Zhao Susu over, and a house full of children and family members set up a table of snacks, melons, fruits and drinks, chatting while drinking.

Gu Xiang deliberately called Zhao Susu and her little girl Aman, and grabbed a fruit for the two children Aman and Zhaodi to eat, and he said lightly what happened to Zhao Susu.

After Xiao Lingyun listened to it, she smiled wryly for a while: "This--fucking world!"

A woman from a scholarly family also burst into foul language.

Zhao Yanfei looked at Xiao Lingyun in a daze, and shook his head: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's fine now...the days when you don't get married are the best."

Gu Xiang Zheng nodded.

Just as Zhao Ying came over from the tent behind with a bowl in his hand, seeing Gu Xiang's expression was so solemn, he paused a little, thoughtfully.

He didn't mean to eavesdrop, he was just a little hungry, and this person had many eyes, and he didn't want to talk to anyone except Sanniang, so he came over.

"It's good."

Zhao Ying felt that what Sanniang said was very reasonable.

That night, in Zhao Ying's secret letter to Li Sheng, in addition to the business, he added another sentence: "San Niang said, 'The best days are when you don't get married', don't always think about introducing marriage to her, it's very annoying. Hate."

Li Sheng: "..."

He was worried and frightened every day, and he had to be careful when receiving confidential letters, so he just told him this?

I bother!

When I go back, I will find ten or eight of them in the Imperial City Department. They have good family background, good looks, good temper, good martial arts, good talents, good talents, and good offspring who are everywhere, and go around in front of San Niangzi.

snort!
Li closed his eyes angrily, and when he was about to turn his head, he heard the sound of flapping wings of night owls outside, accompanied by the sound of cups being pushed in the room, which was somewhat ear-piercing.

His heart trembled, and the two night owls flapped their wings and flew away again, and he was relieved.

If the Duke of the State sent two letters in a short period of time in one night, he might start thinking about death in the line of duty.

Li Sheng was in the enemy camp and stayed up all night. Gu Xiang was surrounded by beauties, drinking tea and chatting, and by the way began to talk about books.

This day, Gu Xiang didn't tell "Kaifeng Detective Handbook", but told a new story.The protagonist is a common man, a very ordinary girl, a bit dislike the poor and love the rich, living in a rural farmer, the father and mother in the family favor sons over daughters, but it is not particularly serious.

The heroine's name is Ah Chong, and her grandmother gave it to her, saying that it was a cheap name to make a living.

Ah Chong takes care of household chores every day, just like most ordinary peasant girls, washing and cooking, and even going to the mountains to chop firewood and pick up wild vegetables. She was raised until she was eight years old. The brother next door, Ah Niu, only produced half a bag of corn, so he made an appointment with her. Dear, just wait for Jiji to get married.

Brother Ah Niu has a good temper, and will use the little money he earns to buy sweets for Ah Chong.

Ah Chong thought, in the future when we get married, she spins yarn and weaves cloth, and Brother A Niu goes to the mountains to chop firewood and give birth to two dolls. If there are female dolls, she will never be patriarchal like A Niang. pain.

As a result, not long after the engagement, there was a famine in his hometown. Brother Aniu went hunting in the mountains, and his belly was burst by a wild boar, and he died.

Ah Chong also asked her father to exchange another bag of bran sorghum for the matchmaker.

Even though Ah Chong is just an ordinary village girl, she has a pretty appearance and good features. The matchmaker fed her well and washed her, so she was sold to a merchant's house and made her an adopted daughter.

These merchants have adopted daughters, some of them are for selling to make money, and some of them are for giving gifts. They have to teach reading, literacy, singing and dancing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Anyway, they must learn everything they can learn, Ah Chong's brain It's not very good, she's a slow learner, but it's a little good, she is serious, if others practice once, she can practice ten times, come and go, she learns the best.

After two months, the master disliked her big feet, so he discounted her toes and made a pair of small shoes for her to wear day and night, in order to give her a pair of slender and straight feet.

The other adopted daughters of the merchant's family said that she was lucky, so they bound her feet to show that the master's family valued her, and in the future they would definitely find a good family for her and marry her well.

Sure enough, Ah Chong asked his master to promise a good family. The new master is a prince, young and handsome, and because she is obedient, he treats her well.

In this way, Ah Chong entered the palace from a peasant girl, from a nameless housemaid serving the prince, to giving birth to a son for the prince, becoming a well-known concubine, and becoming a favored concubine. Concubine, and then No.1 under the concubine. Every day, countless people come to honor her with gold, silver and jewelry. She eats tribute pearl rice and drinks fine nectar. The door, because she has a son who is standing, she also has a son to rely on.

Gu Xiang's story is told in an ordinary and simple way, and Ah Chong's life is nothing more than a mediocre thing.

She is not very good at competing for favor, as if she was lucky, she left the farm and became a phoenix.

"At the age of 40 years old, Ah Chong traveled with his son, passing by a familiar hillside, looking at the sheep herding boy on the hillside, and suddenly couldn't remember, what did her brother Ah Niu look like? Her father, mother, Big Brother, Big Sister, what do they look like? After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure it out, so she could only sigh and admit that she was old and had a bad memory."

Xiao Lingyun listened, tears fell down.

Zhao Yanfei shrank his shoulders suddenly, feeling a sudden chill, and said softly: "This story is not good, don't tell it."

Gu Xiang stopped abruptly, let out a breath, and sighed with a wry smile: "I wanted to tell an inspirational story."

The old dog guarding the door blinked, wondering in his heart—isn't this inspirational enough?So what is called inspiration?

He doesn't like these mother-in-law things very much, but he also thinks that the heroine Ah Chong is really a capable woman.

With nothing on hand, she became the concubine of the prince step by step.

"Tsk! A powerful person."
