Peasant woman's day

Chapter 1

In the winter of the 31st year of Dazhou, there was heavy snowfall.

Zhili Governor Shen's family was confiscated due to the literary inquisition, and all seventeen members of the family were beheaded. When the bodies were counted, there were only sixteen.

The hooves of the horses were flying, and a carriage was running tirelessly from north to south.A woman poked her head out of the car window to look at the way she came, hurriedly lowered the curtain, turned her head and said, "Young Mistress, those people are still behind."

In the swaddling baby in the arms of the young woman, a baby was sucking his fingers with his eyes closed, sleeping very soundly.The young woman closed her eyes, and the corners of her eyes were already wet.Cruel-hearted, she pushed the child to the mother-in-law: "Sister Shen, you must keep Lu'er safe. If possible, don't let him return to Beijing, let alone become an official!"

Shen Momo nodded with tears in her eyes, took the child with trembling hands, and hugged her tightly: "Young Mistress, don't worry. This old servant has risked his life to protect the young master."

The young woman glanced at the child with nostalgia, then looked away and said, "Nurse Shen, get out of the car ahead."

Next to Anping Town, a carriage continued to head south.

Two days later, a carriage drove out of the city gate.Just driving to the southern suburbs, through the window, I saw a carriage torn apart, and the ground was dark red.The groom outside the carriage yelled and said, "I heard that a group of criminals were caught by the government in one go. All of them were caught." The people in the carriage were silent, but held the child tightly in their arms.

A month later, in a remote village, an old woman was walking staggeringly with a child in her arms.Behind her, a man closed the door viciously: "You disgusting old woman, you stand at my door every day, do you want to make my family suffer?"

"Brother, please do me a favor. My little master hasn't had a full stomach for a long time. All I need is a bowl of porridge. Please." Although the clothes on the old woman's body are old, if you look carefully, you can still see the fabric It is not affordable for ordinary people.

But that man obviously didn't belong to this kind of person, he closed the door cursingly, and ignored the mother-in-law and grandson.

The old woman walked a few steps with the child in her arms, and reached the entrance of the village, but couldn't walk anymore.As soon as her legs gave way, she fell forward.Fortunately, she supported herself with one hand, so that she did not fall to the child.

It's just that she looked at the obviously thin child in her arms, and tears fell drop by drop on the child's face.It's only been a month, and she can't bear it any longer.How to explain to the young lady?Sitting under the big tree at the head of the village, the old woman gritted her teeth: she can't die, she can't die.However, the eyes gradually closed.

The child in his arms burst into tears immediately.The cries startled the birds perched on the trees, fluttered their wings, and disappeared into the sky.

At the same time, in Anping Village.

"Look, look, this is the eldest daughter of the old Guo family in the village, right?"

"That's right, look at this carriage. The lady at the Yunlai Inn I saw last time when I went to the town was just sitting there. This Furong is really not simple."

"Tsk tsk, I don't know how many things will be brought back this time. I remember that the old Guo family wore a stone blue dress last time, and it looked different from ours from a distance."

"Sister Furong is back! Sister Furong is back!" Tong Yin was very clear amidst the buzzing voices of the crowd.

Through the car window, Fu Rong in the car clutched the hem of her clothes, and the veins on her forehead were almost protruding.The name of the body I wear is really resounding.Calling Furong is enough to make her depressed, but the surname is Guo!He suddenly heard people outside calling her, the younger ones called her Sister Furong, and the older ones called her Ronger, only then did Furong belatedly remember that when she came back to visit relatives two years ago, she was called by these names. scared back.

Hey, at that time, I was still the maid of Fan Mansion.Now, even though she has become the maidservant of the wife, but at the age of her own, she is unwilling to marry the slave in their mansion to give birth to a slave, so she was kindly released by the wife.Fu Rong wants to cry but has no tears: Will this horrible name really follow her for the rest of her life?

"Cut, what's the point! Isn't she just a maid? She doesn't bring tea and water to others. She is also a slave with her tail up in the sky." When Liu Miao got off the car, a very disharmonious loud voice came from the crowd. burst out.

There was a sneer on the corner of Furong's mouth, the same voice she heard last time, it seemed to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family in the village, Xie Zhang with a matchmaker mole on the corner of her mouth.Heh, what about your own family, do her shit!Furong didn't seem to hear, and got out of the car quickly.After getting off the car, she didn't go anywhere, but walked slowly in the direction of Xie Zhang.

Everyone stopped, raised their ears and opened their eyes wide.This Xie Zhang's mouth is not forgiving, almost every family has been arranged by her.Now the old Guo's family is in high spirits, and this pot of cold water has been poured, hehe, there is a good show to watch.

Fu Rong naturally noticed the silence around her.She doesn't have the energy to satisfy the gossip of these onlookers right now.She just put the two pieces of cloth on the car in front of Mrs. Xie Zhang, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xie, Qiangwei asked me to bring this back to you. She also asked me to send a message for you and Uncle Xie Don't worry about her, don't miss her, everything is fine with her. She will come back in ten days and take a look." Oh, the eldest daughter of the Xie family is just working in an embroidery factory, how can she be so noble.

Xie Zhang took the cloth, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't say a word.Fu Rong never expected that she would thank her, so she greeted a few aunts and aunts she was familiar with, then turned and went back to the house.The servants of Fan's mansion had already moved two big boxes into Guo's house.

Furong's own mother Lin came out after hearing the news. Seeing Furong, tears welled up in an instant. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, choked up and said, "Why didn't you say a word when you came back? Did you have lunch at noon? Your third aunt and the others come here, I still have the dumplings I made, I'll go make dumplings for you." After saying that, Mrs. Lin was about to go to the kitchen.

"Mom, I've already eaten, don't be too busy. Where's dad?" Fu Rong looked around, "Where's brother and sister-in-law?"

Lin gave up and pushed her into the room.Just as Furong was about to sit down, Mrs. Lin grabbed her, pulled her up, wiped the bench again and again, and then let her sit down. She glanced at her clothes distressedly, and took her words: "You Dad went to the field with your brother after dinner. Your sister-in-law has a big belly, just don't make trouble for me." He frowned while talking.

As Lin babbled, Fu Rong looked at her with a smile, and then she felt her heart settle down.Yes, this is the feeling of home.Fan's mansion doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. When she crossed over by herself, Fu Rong herself was already a big maid.Although it is said to be well-clothed and well-fed, she always feels like a dwarf.After returning to this small village, she seemed to have found a sense of belonging. Perhaps, it was also because the memory of the original owner was still in her body.Furong rested her head on one hand, listening to Lin's words, her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Lin talked for a long time, but there was no reply. She turned her head and saw that Fu Rong had fallen asleep lying on the table.Lin's heart was sour, and she said softly: "This child." Although she saw that she was sleeping soundly, it was only because of the cold in the main room in winter, Lin still went up and pushed Fu Rong to wake her up, and let her go to the east room to sleep.

Furong is really tired, she has been packing her things and saying goodbye to a lot of people these days.This morning, I got up before dawn again, kowtowed everywhere again, and hurriedly stuffed a few pastries for lunch to satisfy my hunger, now I couldn't hold it anymore, so I went into the East Room.She took off her outer clothes, shivering from the cold, quickly got into the bed, let out a comfortable sigh, tilted her head, and fell asleep again.Afraid that she would be cold, Mrs. Lin took out another quilt to cover her, and then lightly covered the door and went out.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside the window, and there was only a faint light from the stove in the room.Furong reacted for a while, then remembered that she had already returned to "home", and couldn't help smiling.She put on her outer robe, went to open the cabinet, found an old dress and put it on, and then went out.

"Why, she rested in my room all afternoon when she came back. I came back from my mother's house with a big belly. I didn't rest, I didn't drink a sip of water, and I had to help with farm work. Pooh, I was born in October The one who came down, she was just a slave, and you all praised her as high as the sky! My mother is not good, and I will be talked about when I go back to my mother's house!" As soon as she walked to the door, Fu Rong was about to push the door, and the sister-in-law Song Chunhua's loud voice came over.

Fu Rong sneered in her heart, turned around, opened a box, took out several bolts of satin and a small box, and locked the box carefully again.She just opened the door and walked out with a smile. When she saw Song Chunhua, surprise flashed in her eyes on purpose, and she called: "Sister-in-law." Then she called the angry Guo Dali beside her and said, "Brother."

Song Chunhua stopped in resentment, and kept looking at her hand.Fu Rong just couldn't see her, she pushed the satin over with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, these satins were rewarded by Fan's family this morning. These two bright ones are for you, and this blue one is for elder brother. These two It’s for mother. This box of silk flowers is for you to wear and play with.”

Song Chunhua's eyes flashed with gold, and a smile instantly changed on his face. He rubbed his hands and said with a little embarrassment: "Big sister, come back when you come back, and bring so many things. I'm sorry." Even so Said, but her hands moved quickly, and she had already taken all the things over: "I'll take it to my mother. Sister, sit down quickly." As she said, she walked quickly into the room with vigorous steps.
