She seems to have always been a person, even if she had a family, it was fleeting and gone.
She was the only one left in the dilapidated hut. Shi Qiu and Qing Huan were picked up by Shi Zheng, Ji Sang was also picked up by Ji Bai, and she was alone in the end.
Six years ago, she married Shizheng, the most beautiful man in the village. At that time, she was still a girl that everyone envied. She said she was a leper and wanted to eat swan meat. Understand. She knew that she said that because others envied her, but she didn't wait for the swan meat of Shizheng to divorce her, and she became a concubine for others, and now Shizheng really doesn't want her, it can be regarded as answering the words of those people. .
Yu Yue carried the dark-colored burden, carefully closed the wooden door, and looked at the old old house she bought with great difficulty, and turned around to pick up her grandson's bullock cart.
Brother Sun is her benefactor and her working family. Being able to buy this old old house at a very cheap price in this capital is also thanks to Brother Sun. She is very grateful that he can help her when she is in trouble. Well, now that Sister-in-law Sun is sick, she should help them too, even if doing it now might cost her own life, she has to do it, she owes them something.
Their business is smuggling salt, and salt has always been controlled by the imperial court, and their actions will undoubtedly lead to jail time, but if they succeed, Sister-in-law Sun will have the money to buy medicine. If they can survive, they must do it.
Yu Yue is not beautiful, she was originally white, but the years of war have left her without a home, and as the fugitives traveled through mountains and rivers, she gradually turned black. The most beautiful age, she looks like a worker The old woman for many years is almost the same.
Brother Sun knows about Yu Yue. It is not easy for her to carry three children by herself in these years. She even gave her a concubine in order to survive, but because of this, even her own man survived the war. He couldn't recognize her anymore. Seeing Yu Yue's silence, he felt a little disappointed, so he said with relief, "The meat seller next door to our house is pretty good, and he doesn't have any children. He doesn't mind if you were married, so we agreed. , he will come to propose marriage when we come back."
Yu Yue smiled, nodded and said yes, if she could marry a meat seller, it would be good to eat meat every day in the future.
But they came back, and they were indeed brought back. After the new emperor ascended the throne, although there were no war refugees, the salt administration was gradually controlled. He was arrested by officers and soldiers, and he was escorted back to Beijing with some other smugglers. He was punished by a severe sentence, so that others would accept the smuggling of salt.
At that time, in a hurry, Yu Yue thought that Mrs. Sun still needed someone to take care of her, so she protected Brother Sun and let Brother Sun run away. She was caught by officers and soldiers and came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. This is the cell where serious criminals only come. Today's sage is going to kill chickens and monkeys.
Seeing that she was a thin woman with no useful information to give them, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment ordered her to be beaten once a day and then thrown back to the cell.
After being thrown back to the cell, Yu Yue was so groggy that she couldn't tell whether what was in front of her was reality or a dream.
Ji Bai, who was wearing a navy blue gown, looked at her with a solemn expression, "Didn't you say you won't be allowed to go again? Don't die!"
Lying on the ground like an old rag, Yu Yue really didn't have the energy to respond to the reason why she was selling smuggled salt again, she just looked at Ji Bai's back, the familiar and unfamiliar figure outside the cell "I...I Are you going to die?"
Ji Bai pulled Yu Yue who was on the ground into his arms. He couldn't tell whether it was anger or pity, and frowned, "With me, I can't die."
"Really?" The people in front of Yu Yue's eyes had turned into three, and she was shaking back and forth. She knew that only people who saw people would have double images when they were seriously ill, and now she seems to be really sick. It's serious, otherwise, a person who can't see her again will still appear in his sight "Then...how could the government be here at that time, you lie... lie to me, I'm about to die."
The helpless Ji Bai could only look back at the current affairs that he didn't even want to enter. After a while, he choked up, "This is not an illusion, and you won't die." Ji Bai hugged Yu Yue's arm tightly, "I am here. I'll take you away."
Ji's family used to be a big family in the town. Their ancestors were a family of cloth, and they were rich in precious cloth. Even the ladies of the palace used their cloth for their clothes. Later, it was ruined because of the war, and Ji Bai was Master Ji. The youngest son is not only handsome, but also has a brilliant brain. He doesn't know where he did business after the war, and he managed to do business in the capital. The rich are very rich, even the high-ranking officials in the capital have to respectfully call him. He is 'Ji Gongzi'.
Yu Yue used to believe him very much, but she doesn't anymore. After she knew that he lied to her that Shi Zheng was dead, she no longer believed him.
Yu Yue looked at Ji Bai talking to herself, "You lied to me again, I won't trust you anymore."
Ji Bai hugged Yu Yue and got up, "Stop talking, I'll take you away."
The official beside him hurriedly stopped him and reminded carefully, "Ji Gongzi is the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. It is a violation of the government order to let you in. You have to take people away. Isn't this embarrassing for the villain?" After saying that, the official Looking at the current affairs outside the cell again, he lowered his voice and said carefully, "The Prime Minister is still here, aren't you going to die!"
The official quickly grabbed Ji Bai and told him to put Yu Yue down.
After all, he was still a businessman, and even if he was rich, he would not be able to take Yu Yue away under such circumstances.
At this time, Yu Yue's wound had become inflamed, causing a high fever. She kept shouting cold, Ji Bai quickly took off his robe and put it on Yu Yue's body. Yu Yue, who felt a little warm, babbled again. stand up.
"I'm dying anyway, so I'm not afraid of offending you." Yu Yue looked at Ji Bai blankly, "I hate you Ji Bai, I hate you for lying to me, Ji Bai, if you didn't lie to me, I wouldn't give it to you. If your father is a concubine, your mother will not be your father's concubine no matter how much money you give me, if I hadn't been your father's concubine, the current affairs would not want me anymore."
Ji Bai gritted his teeth and looked at the current affairs outside the door, "Even if I don't lie to you, do you think the current affairs will want you?"
As soon as these words came out, the officials around Ji Bai instantly sweated coldly all over his body. He seemed to have heard something terrible, and this was still the secret of the new prime minister. Curiosity had killed the cat since ancient times. At this time, he Wishing to disappear on the ground, as if he had never been here, he secretly glanced at the prime minister outside the door, those frosty eyes seemed to be poisoned, and shot straight at him, he quickly lowered his head and lowered his head. own presence.
At this time, Yu Yue was already confused, looking at the current affairs outside the door and even laughed, "Yes, it was not his original intention to marry me back then. The house, land, and cattle can be used as dowry for me, and Madam Shi will not force him to marry me." Yu Yue looked at Ji Bai again, "You are not a good thing, and your whole family is not a good thing. Shizheng is gone. Not long after, you also left and said that you were going out to do business. I know you just wanted to prove that you were better than Shizheng, and you must have gone to the scientific examination just like Shizheng."
Ji Bai smiled lightly, but she knew herself well.
Yu Yue went on to say, "After the war, you lost contact with the current affairs, my mother..." Yu Yue choked up, "My mother starved to death, and Mrs. Ji was also beaten to death while robbing food. , just, I'm the only one left, Shi Qiu still has Qinghuan." Yu Yue started crying, crying very sad and aggrieved "But at this time, your mother wants to concubine your father, I didn't want to , but your mother told me, tell me you wrote a letter to say Shizheng, Shizheng is dead, I have no hope in my heart, as long as I can support Shiqiu and Qinghuan, I am willing to do anything."
Under the dark figure outside the door, his fists were clenched, and his eyes became colder.
"Later, and later, I learned that your brother was gambling outside and had no money to pay off his debts. He was beaten to death, and Ji's dyeing workshop was also smashed. Mrs. Ji took medicine all the year round, and Master Ji was seriously ill. There is a newly born Ji Sang who needs someone to take care of me. Mrs. Ji is interested in my honesty and can support Shiqiu and Qinghuan by herself. That's why Master Ji takes me as a concubine in order to kill me. He was tied to your house and brought children to your house. You said that your brother didn't watch when he gave birth to a child, but he was born when the poor man couldn't open the pot. It didn't exhaust your parents, but I exhausted me. "
At this time, Yu Yue was neither sad nor happy, and had no desire to live, and only wanted to find someone to tell her grievances before she died.
"Afterwards, the Ji family couldn't take it anymore. Master Ji was gone, and Mrs. Ji followed. It changed from taking care of two children to three. At that time, I thought about hanging by a rope like Mrs. Ji. It’s better to die, but when I saw Shi Qiu, Qing Huan, and Ji Sang smiling and giving me the steamed buns they grabbed from other children, I told myself that no matter how hard it was, I would make them big. Later, you asked someone to bring us a letter. Fortunately, Jiqiu was literate, so I thought about taking them to find you. I thought that if I found you, if I didn’t say that life is good, how can I have food and clothing? We begged all the way. I went to the capital, but it turned out that you were not in the capital at all. You didn't know it. At that time, I thought about taking the three of them to find a river to drown myself. If Brother Sun and Sister-in-law Sun didn't save us, the four of us would say now. Maybe waiting for you to burn paper money for us?"
"You said in the past that you can't sell smuggled salt, it's a serious crime, but if I don't sell smuggled salt, what will the three of them eat! Do you know that I went to the door of the brothel when it was the most difficult time, and I hated it I sold them for a stutter myself."
As he spoke, Yu Yue's tears flowed down, even Ji Bai, who had experienced life and death, also shed tears.
"It's alright now, you took away Ji Sang, Shi Zheng took away Shi Qiu and Qing Huan, I owe my brother and sister-in-law Sun, and I'm done with it. I hope I can have my first child in a good family in my next life, and I'll have nothing to worry about. ."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Ji Bai picked up Yu Yue again and walked straight to the door, looking at the man with a frosty face.
"I'm going to take her away."
Shizheng looked at the woman in Ji Bai's arms who was like a shabby doll and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything, so he could only look at her with a frown.
"Current affairs!" Ji Bai reminded again, "I want to take her away!"
Shi Zheng waved his hand, and a line of officers and soldiers quickly surrounded him. The officer who brought Ji Bai knelt down on the ground in fright and shouted for mercy.
"Current affairs, if she doesn't find a doctor, she will die!" Ji Bai shouted.
But Shi Zheng did not withdraw the officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers held Ji Bai in custody. Shi Zheng took over Yu Yue and walked out of the door quickly until their figures disappeared, and the officers and soldiers released Ji Bai.
"Current affairs! You can't kill her! You can't kill her!"
