Blissful Days After Widowhood

In the British public house, Wu Zhong just got up.

Last night he had a dream about the life he lived in Batou Village ten years ago.

Compared with the situation at home at that time, it was a hardship, but every day was lively and lively.

As soon as the day dawned, Mrs. Wang would get up, and while doing the morning meal, he shouted loudly for everyone to get up.

The cowardly and cowardly Gu Daya is always the first to get up and help Wang's cooking.

Wait until Wu Zhong and Wu Qingyi are up, you can eat hot food, but you can't see what it is.

The roar made their father and son shrink their necks and dare not put their beaks again.

There is one more thing, Wu Zhong was impressed.

The year she was drafted into the army, Mrs Wang became pregnant again, and the family needed another mouth to eat.

He took advantage of the slack in the farm season, picked up a trader's pole, and went to the city to do small business.

The small business is going well, and I can save a tael of silver a few years ago to buy something for Wang and his unborn child.

After finishing work that day, he just walked to the entrance of the village when he saw Mrs Wang standing there with her arms crossed and a tiger face.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are still pregnant, why are you coming out to greet me in the cold weather?"

Wang snorted coldly and took out the kitchen knife at home from behind.

"I went back to being a businessman behind my back, right? If it wasn't for the widow Li from the east of the village who told me that when I saw you talking to the big girl and the little daughter-in-law in the city, the old lady really wanted to I've been deceived by you for the rest of my life!"

Since the two got married, the Wang family will not let him be a businessman, saying that because he is good-looking, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not rely on him like her. Don't provoke some peach blossom debts back then.

And even in the past, only a silly girl like Wang was willing to give up the good life at home and live with him in poverty.

"Then I don't care. Did you promise me that if you did something wrong to me, you would hack me to death?"

Wu Zhong said yes, and said, "I don't think I'm sorry for you, right?"

Wang then sneered, "Then if I chop you half to death, it doesn't count as hacking you, right?"

Don't look at Wang's kitchen knife when cooking, but when he wants to chop people, the kitchen knife dances like a tiger.

He was afraid that Wang would hurt himself and the child in his womb.

…

…

This kind of dream, Wu Zhong has often done these years, and wakes up with tears in his clothes.

When he got up this time, he only found it funny, thinking in his heart that he didn't know that after so many years, the old wife in her 40s was still dancing with a kitchen knife.

Afterwards, he asked the servant to change his clothes and comb his hair.

He hadn't been so particular in many years.

several years old.

If he doesn't speak, he looks like a heroic middle-aged man.

People are used to seeing his sullen appearance, and it is inevitable to praise him this day: "The grandfather should have dressed up like this, he looks younger than he is!"

Wu Zhong pursed his lips, and half of his face was still unnatural when he smiled.

Shen Hanchun came in with the compliments of the servants.

Seeing that Wu Zhong, the dying man, suddenly knew how to dress up, Shen Hanchun's eyes showed a trace of contempt.

Count the days, Wu Qingyi will be back soon.

She was confined to the court in her past life, but she vaguely remembered that he returned to Beijing in August.

I just hope that he is seriously injured, and that the matter of inhumanity should not change as well.

She suppressed the faint uneasiness in her heart, entered the room and said, "The grandfather of the country is indeed handsome today!"

Mr. Wu nodded and said to everyone with difficulty and slowly, "Be alert, husband and wife, they will be back today."

Wang Shi and Gu Yin were still alive, Wu Qingyi only wrote to Wu Zhong and Emperor Zhengyuan.

The lady who came out, but the uncle in the mansion is coming back.

But Shen Hanchun’s heart set off a huge wave—

What lady? She never knew!

There is indeed a family in Wu's hometown. After the world was settled, Wu Qingyi sent a letter to ask for the seal, and both his mother and wife who died in the flood were sealed.

Shen Hanchun lived again, relying only on the ability of the unpredictable prophet.

But there are more and more things that haven't happened in her last life recently, how can this make her not panic? !

Just as she was in a state of indecision, the concierge came in and preached: "Master Guo, the general's carriage has arrived at the intersection!"

Shen Hanchun immediately followed.

Although the situation is completely different from what she knew, but the matter has come to this point, even if Wu Zhong's wife comes to the capital safely, she does not feel that she will lose to a mountain village woman.

Shen Hanchun supported the hairpin on his head, took out the rules and etiquette he learned in the palace in his previous life, and went out together.

Wu Zhong stopped panting as soon as he walked out of the yard. He asked Shen Hanchun to take someone out to greet him first, and then he took a rest for a while before leaving.

Shen Hanchun walked to the door and happened to see Wu Qingyi riding on a tall horse.

He wears the usual black outfit, which outlines his body with broad shoulders and narrow waist. And he didn't wear the black mask that covered half of his face anymore, his resolute and handsome face was exposed, and he had a soul-stirring bearing.

No injuries?

Shen Hanchun frowned, feeling more and more that things shouldn't be like this.

She was so angry that she resisted not bringing it to the face, just waiting to see the lady Wu Zhong said.

The country woman came into the city suddenly, thinking that she could live a good life with her husband and son, but found that the old man already had her by his side. Thinking that this scene must be very lively?

…

On Gu Yin's side, the carriage just stopped, and Wang didn't need anyone to help him, so he jumped off.

After jumping off, Mrs Wang turned around and stretched out her hand to help Gu Yin, but seeing Wu Qingyi dismounting and walking to the other end of the carriage, she obviously knew she wanted to help her daughter-in-law, but it didn’t count too stupid.

Wang shrugged with a smile and saw the box still in the carriage - the one with the kitchen knife, Gu Yin didn't like it, she kept it by her side every day.

She picked that up instead.

People naturally came to take the salute, and Mrs. Wang quickly took advantage of this time to look around.

Impressive.

The servants all dressed in uniform to serve, although they did not recognize her, they all had warm and attentive smiles on their faces.

Wow, my family is really going to live a good life!

Wang's eyes warmed, and then she thought that she shouldn't watch this, but to see if there was anything about the auntie's room in the play.

Shen Hanchun has stayed in the palace, and his ability to observe words is not inferior to that of ordinary palace staff.

The woman standing in front of her looked at her forties. Although she could see a bit of her youthful demeanor, she couldn't compare with her age.

Aware of Wang's inquiring gaze, she immediately stood up straight, and revealed a smile that she thought was very coquettish and sweet, "Are you the lady of the country? I..."

Wang looked at her and turned her aside.

This girl looks about the same age as her own daughter-in-law, not as old as her eldest son. And laugh like a fool.

Shen Hanchun was staggered by Wang.

"You take Wu An down first."

Wu An's character is timid and shy. Although he has recovered a little in recent years, he can't stand today is indeed a big scene.

Dozens of servants from the imperial government alone came out.

Especially after entering the capital, the Wang family even added firewood to him, saying that you are now seven and a half years old, and now you are the second master of the Guogong's mansion, so don't be embarrassed this time!

What is the king of the country?

Wu An has been studying for two years, but he understands. It is because he understands that he is particularly nervous—

Suddenly become the second master of the humerus of a country, he is really not ready, woo woo...

Depend on each other.

"Don't be afraid, both mother and sister-in-law are here." Gu Yin whispered a few words of comfort.

Wu An took a deep breath and stepped on the footstool to get out of the carriage without using his elder brother to hold him.

Wu Qingyi's solemn face showed a slight smile, he reached out and patted Wu An's shoulder, then handed out his hand in the direction of the carriage.

The hand that held up the car curtain was handed to his palm, one white and one black, one big and one small, two very different hands clasped, looking at Shen Hanchun with a sullen look.

Wu Zhong's wife should not be here, neither should the child named Wu An, and the young woman in the carriage, who is that? !

In Shen Hanchun's unbelievable eyes, Gu Yin was helped by Wu Qingyi to get off the carriage.

She was wearing a rosy flower skirt and a white magnolia loose flower gauze over it. In Shen Hanchun's eyes, she was a bit shabby, but she was set off by her graceful and graceful appearance, just like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. woman coming out.

Shen Hanchun looked at her face again, and saw that her hair was in a lily bun, and there was no decoration on her hair, but no decoration was needed, because her eyes were extremely clear and moist, making her face clear When you are, you will only get caught in that pair of eyes, and you will not notice other places at all.

When she looked at Gu Yin, Gu Yin also noticed that someone was looking at her.

I turned around and saw a young woman, she nodded slightly to say hello.

"Why doesn't Mother go in?" Gu Yin walked to Wang's side and asked.

Wang said a little aggrieved: "Your father didn't come."

Eight years apart, although she thought that half a month was not a long time, it would be okay to see him later, but the closer she got to the capital, the more Wang Shi knew how much she missed him.

I don't even know how to go out and greet me!

Wang squeezed the wooden box in his hand angrily.

This is my daughter-in-law's treasure! Wang Shi felt guilty for a while, and hurriedly bent down and picked up the kitchen knife in his hand.

Wu Zhong trembled as he walked around the shadow wall, when he saw the dark-faced wife with a kitchen knife.

Done! Wu Zhong subconsciously turned the direction of the crutches and wanted to run!

He was followed by two little servants. Seeing him like this, he was surprised: "Grandpa, what's the matter with you?"

"Is the grandfather of the country not in good health? If you are young, go to the old doctor."

The concerned and anxious voice of the servant fell into Wang's ears, she noticed Wu Zhong next to the shadow wall, and immediately called his name imposingly - "Wu Zhong!"

The two little servants didn't know why, seeing that the usually prudent grandpa shuddered obviously, and then responded with tears: "Hey!"

The husband and wife have been together for half a lifetime. Although they have been separated for eight years, they know each other too well. Mrs. Wang still understands the move he wanted to pull back just now, and asks him angrily: "What are you running for?"

Wu Zhong didn't know what he was running for, anyway, when he saw his old wife holding a kitchen knife, he wanted to run.

"Mother, in your hand." Gu Yin reminded him aloud, only then did Mrs Wang realize that she was holding a knife in her hand.

Gu Yin stood close, afraid of hurting her, Wang shi didn't put the kitchen knife into her arms, turned around and stuffed the kitchen knife and the broken box to Shen Hanchun who was standing on the other side.

"Can I still slash you with a knife?!" Wang shi said and strode forward, raising his arms.

With this help, Wang Shi realized that Wu Zhong was so thin that the bones on his arms were too thin!

He was not like this before. Although he was not as burly as the eldest son, he was also very strong.

Wang shed tears and complained: "How can you eat well and live well and still be so thin? It makes people feel strange."

In Wang's vision, although Dad Wu was in poor health and suffered a stroke, but a person who became a high-ranking official, why should he eat his big belly like in the play, and then support the left Holding two beauties on the right, living a very beautiful and comfortable life.

Why are you so thin?

Wu Zhong smiled with tears: "I don't, don't know."

Wang shi cried again, "You can't speak too well, like the two fools in the east of the village."

There used to be such a fool in Batou Village, who could not even speak in his twenties.

The next people shrank their necks spontaneously and consciously, ready to meet his anger.

The husband and wife walked in together while talking. After walking out for a while, Mrs. Wang turned around and greeted, "Da Ya, Da Ya, come quickly."

Gu Yin responded with a sound, pulled Wu An, and stretched her other hand back - a big warm hand covered it.

Gu Yin, who wanted to lead Gu Ye, felt helpless.

"Ono hasn't returned yet." Wu Qingyi explained.

Gu Ye couldn't be idle when he was in Hanshan Town, how could he stay in the carriage when he arrived in the capital? When the shopkeeper Zhou said that he was going to inquire about the shops for sale and rent in the imperial court, he went along with him, and he has not come back yet.

"How old are you and want me to hold you?" Gu Yin let go of his hand, and then smiled helplessly, "Xiaoye is too skinny and can't be idle for a moment. Remember to tell the concierge not to look back. Don't let him in."

"It's been said."

"Pomegranate, don't get busy. Come over here."

Gu Yin greeted Song Shiliu again, and walked side by side with Wu Qingyi to the house.

Song Shiliu responded, but her feet did not move.

She is very self-aware, the wife and the old lady have brought her to places like the capital, she has to handle the errand well and not let her position as the number one servant girl be threatened!

Seeing that the next person took it away without falling to the ground, Song Shiliu put on her small bag and walked towards the gate.

In addition to the busy servants at the door, only Shen Hanchun was left.

"This sister is also a servant girl in the house, right?" Song Shiliu greeted her warmly, "I'm Shiliu by my wife's side. From now on, let's do errands for my wife."

"I'm not a maid!" Shen Hanchun screamed.

Shen Hanchun, who had always regarded herself as the future mistress of the British public mansion, raised her lips, but now she couldn't say anything like that.

Song Shiliu said angrily, "Aren't you still a maid? Why are you yelling at me!"

Who, she chatted with her politely, yelled when she came up, and looked at people with gloomy eyes.

Song Shiliu snorted and went into the house with a small burden on her back.

So many people...so many people, all should not be in this world, why is this, why...

Under the sharp ups and downs, Shen Hanchun violently threw the things in his hand to the ground.

At the same time that the kitchen knife fell to the ground, a child's voice sounded behind her.

"You threw my mother's stuff?"

"My hand slipped." Shen Hanchun took a few breaths and turned around to hold back his anger.

When she saw the person standing behind her, her knees softened and she knelt down!

Convince yourself.

All executed.

Such a cruel method once aroused the dissatisfaction of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and wrote a letter to ask Emperor Zhengyuan to appoint another prince, and the words are particularly ugly, saying that Prince Lie is so kind, how could he be the kind-hearted Emperor Zhengyuan offspring?

That is really a word of punishment, and I directly doubt the origin of Prince Lie.

Unfortunately, Emperor Zhengyuan didn't listen to those, and he was not rich. Apart from Prince Lie, he only had two other sons.

The second prince is frail and sickly, the third prince is ignorant and incompetent, and Emperor Zhengyuan only likes him, he is against all opinions, and does not choose other people as a candidate for the prince.

Fortunately, after this incident, the prince Lie did not show any violent side again, and the courtiers really believed in him, so no one persuaded Emperor Zhengyuan to appoint another prince.

After another three years, the pain of Emperor Zhengyuan's battle for many years broke out, and it was passed on to him.

The eighteen-year-old Prince Lie ascended the throne and became Emperor Lie.

It took him two years to secure the throne, and after he was full of wings, he began to liquidate old accounts.

Only then did the world know that this Lie Emperor's amiable and amiable character in the past was completely disguised. The real him is the cruel temperament that will be repaid when he kills the deposed emperor and the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The courtiers who persuaded Emperor Zhengyuan to abolish the crown prince were sent out by him one by one, ranging from relegation to exile in the worst cases.

Those who have not violated him, he is clearly rewarded and punished, and can be called a wise ruler.

Afterwards, he promoted a group of underprivileged students, and managed the new dynasty, which had just been founded, and was still waiting to be revived.

Such a monarch who will retaliate but has thunderous means, from the court to the court, there is no one who is not afraid and respectful.

He painted portraits of himself when he was young, showing them one by one in front of people, and said with a contemptuous smile: "When I was young, I was a wanderer, fighting with dogs for food, not covering my body, and not having enough to eat. The old man is worse than me, I'm afraid it can't be compared."

Since those portraits were exhibited, no one dared to intercede with him in a sympathetic way.

The child in front of him looks about five or six years old. He doesn't look very much like Emperor Zhengyuan, and he looks plump and rounder than the five-year-old portrait that Emperor Lie painted for himself. The outlines are exactly the same, and there is still a little black mole at the moment, Shen Hanchun will never admit it wrong!

She has been in the palace all her life, and her reverence for Emperor Lie has been carved into her bones.

After kneeling down, she sweated like pulp and shook like chaff.

Gu Ye tilted his head and muttered: "You are also strange, it's better to pick it up if you drop it. Why are you kneeling?"

Shen Hanchun dreamed of going back to her previous life, because she was fond of martial arts and did not want to stay in the palace for a lifetime, so she dredged up and down, and wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible.

Strange, since you don't want to serve in the palace, it's better to ask me to come, what are you doing with bribes?"

Only then did Shen Hanchun know that Emperor Lie was investigating the matter of bribery and dereliction of duty in the palace.

At that time, when she heard such words, she thought that Emperor Lie would give her a grace and let her out of the palace.

I didn't expect his next sentence to be, "You are a person who has followed the Supreme Emperor. Since you don't want to be in the palace, it is the same to go to another courtyard to serve the Supreme Emperor."

Since then, Shen Hanchun has gone from a court doctor to a doctor of another hospital.

Although she is also a doctor girl, her status has plummeted. When the Supreme Emperor gets sick, he also sees the imperial doctor, and does not use her wild medical woman.

Especially when she was exiled from the palace by Emperor Lie, and the palace servants in other courtyards watched people serve dishes and treated her more and more harshly, so that she had an incurable disease before she reached the age of forty.

"Hey, I'm talking to you." Gu Ye scratched his head irritably.

This man is too strange, he seems to be looking at him, and he seems to be looking at others through him.

He doesn't mind her kneeling, it doesn't matter to him if her kneeling breaks. But his mother is very soft-hearted, if she sees it, she will definitely think that he is bullying people.

Shen Hanchun rolled his eyes and fainted.

Gu Ye quickly stood up and said to the servants around him, "You have all seen it, it has nothing to do with me."

There is a subordinate to testify, others will never complain to his mother!

The people only know that there is a young master who has not come back, but they do not know his specific identity very well, but Shen Hanchun is indeed dizzy, and Gu Ye has nothing but two words with her. If they didn't do it, they immediately responded and said, "It has nothing to do with the young master, Miss Chun passed out by herself."

Gu Ye nodded, let his servants lead the way with his hands behind his back, and then went to find Gu Yin and Wang Shi.

…

Inside the palace wall, the former righteous king, the current Zhengyuan emperor Lu Shouyi just disbanded.

The Daxi Dynasty and the old practice of the previous Dynasty are still five days a day.

Before the war, Lu Shouyi was a white man who could only write his own name. After the formation of the team, he began to learn to read and write, changed his current name, and proclaimed himself the righteous king.

But the ink in his stomach is really limited, and he doesn't like to deal with those things, especially some old court officials, who speak in a delicate manner. Whenever he is distracted for a while, he can't understand what the other party is saying. what to say.

The **** who is close to him is not a man from the previous dynasty, but a young general in the former army named Qian Sansi.

Qian Sansi was also a child of a poor family. When he was 10 years old, he asked his family to find a gelding pig craftsman, and he was castrated like a beast.

Then the family wanted to send him to the court to exchange money, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen to poor people like them.

Qian Sansi was unable to enter the palace and became a **** again. His parents simply threw him into the wild and let him die.

It also happened that Qian Sansi met Lu Shouyi and joined the rebels.

His situation is actually very similar to Wu Qingyi, who was picked up by King Yi in a desperate situation. Also because of this, Qian Sansi and Wu Qingyi also said that they are very friendly.

"The general sent a letter to His Majesty a while ago, and it's been two days."

Lu Shouyi naturally remembered this, but he didn't expect Wu Qingyi to help him with his official business - Wu Qingyi, like him, was a rough man and fainted when he saw the ink words. He was waiting for Wu Qingyi to invite the elder of the three dynasties in Hanshan Town.

Although the old man is a former official of the previous dynasty, he is dedicated to the people, otherwise he would not have been demoted and returned to his hometown.

Looking at the memorial for a quarter of an hour, Lu Shouyi really couldn't read it, so he threw the memorial and went to the harem.

There are now three female relatives in the harem of the Daxi Dynasty. One is naturally Lu Shouyi's old lady Wang, who has now been named the queen mother. The other is Lu Shouyi's wife Zhou, who is now Queen Zhou.

There is another one, Feng Guifei, the sister of the former governor of Chuzhou and the current Duke of Lu.

There are three people in total. Now it is time for Queen Zhou and Concubine Feng to greet the Queen Mother, and all three are gathered in the Cining Palace.

Lu Shouyi also ran to the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother is taking her two daughters-in-law to recite the scriptures.

In fact, she was not a person who believed in gods and Buddhas in the past, but since she lost her eldest grandson, the old lady believed in Buddhism and became a vegetarian. Most of the eldest grandson is dead, so I hope that he will reach bliss early and return to his home in the future. After being a vegetarian for several years, even when Lu Shouyi ascended the throne, the old lady's banquets were all vegetarian.

The Queen Zhou and Concubine Feng next to him were a little careless.

The Queen Mother was unhappy when she saw her, and her face became stern.

Concubine Feng pleaded guilty and said, "The weather has changed recently, both children are a little bad, concubine..."

The eldest grandson didn't come out of Feng Guifei's belly, so she was naturally not so caring, not to mention that the twins she gave birth were also her own flesh and blood, and they were indeed weaker than ordinary children. The queen mother waved her hand and let her go back to the palace to take care of her children.

There is only one Queen Zhou left, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are dependent on each other. The relationship was very good in the past.

On the belt of the trousers, the food and daily life are not allowed to be touched by others. Even the grandmother of the Queen Mother has to get her approval to see her grandson.

So in the end, the Queen Mother did not say anything, sighed and let her go.

After she left, the Queen Mother asked the palace servant again. The little prince born by Queen Zhou was not uncomfortable, but she ate one less bite at dinner this morning, so Queen Zhou did absent-minded, always remembered.

Although now the whole family has jumped from the ground to the cloud, the Queen Mother sometimes misses the days when she was still in the countryside.

At that time, her son was still called Donkey Dan, and he was not called Shouyi. He only told his family that he had a big business to do, settled them in a remote place, and only returned after a year and a half a trip.

But at that time, Father Lu was still there, her body was strong, her daughter-in-law was filial, and she added a grandson to the family. Although she was concerned about her son, her daily life was lively and lively.

Unlike now, suddenly it seems that there is nothing else to do except eat and wait to die and waste time.

When Lu Shouyi arrived, he saw the Queen Mother alone staring out the window in a daze.

He waved his hand and backed away from the palace servants, went up to sit beside the Queen Mother, and asked, "Why is my mother unhappy?"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses, and when she saw it was him, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "What am I unhappy about? "

That said, the Queen Mother's eyes still showed infinite desolation.

Lu Shouyi couldn't bear it, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Qingyi is back, and he wrote to say that he has found his mother and his wife when he returned to his hometown, and has gone to Beijing with him. Mother, do you want to see them?"

"The Qingyi family, you can meet me." The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, "He is a good boy."

In the past, Lu Shouyi sent Wu Qingyi to resettle his family. It was also during that resettlement that he realized that he had a son in the countryside, and he had already lost it. That's why he didn't reassign others, and asked Wu Qingyi to find them.

Although he still did not find the person in the end, the Queen Mother accepted the love that he had worked so hard to find for several months.
