Mrs. Hua Yi

Chapter 233 Returning Home (2)
The official road is long, and the dust is clear.

One red and one yellow, covered with a beautiful sunrise, like two famous flowers flying on the bustling Zimo.

The BMW traveled thousands of miles a day, stopping and resting, and arrived at a village in the outskirts of Kyoto early the next morning.

Several people dismounted, the sun was warm and warm.

After sitting on the horse for a long time, my body is extremely uncomfortable, but I can move my muscles and bones, and I feel much more comfortable immediately.

Bitter Job's tears rubbed her shoulder blades, looked around, and saw a stone tablet at the gate of the village, on which was engraved: Chengjiazhuang.

Chengjiazhuang?
Words that are too familiar, names that are too piercing, gather all kinds of flavors at once.

Bitter Job's heart clenched tightly, and a soreness hit her.

Didn't Aunt Xiudong marry Chengjiazhuang?The eldest princess sent a message earlier, saying that she is still alive in the world, but she is hidden too deeply, and her whereabouts cannot be found.

When Ku Yi first received this letter, she felt both sad and happy, and not being able to find a place to stay just proved that she was living somewhere securely.Back then, she was lucky enough to escape the empress dowager's ruthless killing. As a maidservant, she would not be paid special attention by the imperial court. However, she is as intelligent as snow, and she must be living safely in the capital, not far from the Xiao family.

But, will she stay in Chengjiazhuang?Such a conspicuous place might not be the safest place.

Aunt Xiudong, I hope I can meet you during this trip!
Kuyi's mind was full of thoughts, and she followed Fuying's footsteps into the villa.

The gate of the villa was guarded, and because Fuying was a distinguished guest here, she was let in.

Chengjiazhuang has a radius of tens of miles, which is extremely prosperous, huge and quiet.

At the beginning of the morning, everyone is quiet, and everyone is probably still immersed in a sweet dream. It is not surprising that there are few people on the road.

Zhuang Road is flat and wide, undamaged by the wheels, and it is a little too quiet.

Fuying took a look at Kuyi, and said neither salty nor indifferent: "It was quiet at the beginning, and it was lively in the afternoon, but the people who were lively were only young children, the adults were just sad in vain."

"Why?" Kuyi was taken aback.

"You have been hiding in the deep boudoir of a rich family all year round. Of course you don't know the sufferings of the people. Since the Celestial Dynasty fought with the Huns every year, there were many soldiers killed and injured on the border. Every year, thousands of men were sent to the border from all over the country. And the children of the rich family can use money to redeem themselves and buy people into the army. The imperial court clearly stipulates that if you are unwilling or unable to serve in person, you can pay 300 yuan to hire someone to serve on your behalf, or the government orders him to pay for it, which is called Daigeng. The clan, nobles, bureaucrats and their relatives, the three elders of the county and township, and the elected Those who are filial piety, disciples of doctors, other masters of the classics, and those exempted from military service by special edicts are not required to serve. At the age of 20, he served as a pawn, guarding the border, and changing the pawn for the children of the rich family. Although the time limit for the border guards is one year, if the border defense is urgent, they will stay for six months. Women are old and disabled, Chengjiazhuang is more or less safe compared to other places." Fu Ying's voice was low, with a touch of pity mixed in, and faint grief.

Feng Yizhu sneered: "What's so strange? Since ancient times, the wine and meat of rich families have stink, and poor families have suffered from everything. It's not surprising."

Kuyi's heart is so cold, it is indeed as she said, she is locked in the deep boudoir of the rich family, except for playing flowers and plants all day long to achieve her wishes, she is in a different realm from the common people from beginning to end, although she has seen a lot of suffering, she has also taken in many homeless people. For those who can return, it is only due to her kind nature. She doesn't know that there are still ten families and nine families in the world who are suffering from the pain of parting.

She suddenly wondered, is the emperor really a wise king?

What he envisioned was the future of the country and the eternal stability of the world, but he also sacrificed the lives of too many people.
