Chapter 470 Chapter 470: Anyone who comes can still pursue [Monthly Ticket]
“Cough cough cough—cough cough—”
Weak coughing sounds came intermittently from the side compartment in the backyard, sleeping The woman outside heard the noise, put on her clothes and stood up. Candlelight lit up in the room, dispelling the heavy and cold darkness. If you get closer, you can still hear the patients' faint murmurs.
"Water, water...water..."
The woman said warmly: "The water is here."
As he spoke, he carefully lifted the patient up on the bed so that she could tilt her head and sip the warm water. As the liquid flows through the throat, the burning dryness is temporarily relieved. She moved her lips, and her mouth changed from a small mouth to a big mouth.
After a while, the bowl of warm water bottomed out.
The patient also regained consciousness slightly.
"Dare to ask the benefactor..."
She remembered clearly that she was rescued during the day.
The very person who is taking care of her now.
"I don't dare to be a benefactor. After all, the girl helped the slave family out of the siege with a word of kindness, but now she just returns the favor." She carefully put the patient down, tucked the corner of the quilt, and said softly, "Bai The Japanese girl is seriously ill and hasn’t had time to tell her yet. ——The slave family has reported the girl’s origin to the parents here. The parent is kind and tolerant, and told the girl to rest assured and recover here.”
The patient felt nervous when he heard that his origin was reported. After hearing the last sentence, I felt a little relieved.
She is also sensible and aware of her own identity.
"When I recover, I will say goodbye to my master. My master is kind, but I cannot 'repay kindness with enmity' and bring disaster to the family." She was weak and had a serious fever, so she spoke for so long in one breath Then, I felt a strong itching in my throat and started coughing again.
Maybe he slept a lot during the day.
No matter how dizzy she was at this moment, she couldn't sleep. Seeing that she couldn't sleep, the woman was also worried that the other person would have to wake up in the middle of the night, so she took the quilt over and slept not far away to take care of her. She took the initiative to stir up the topic: "Why is the girl here?"
This girl is a noble daughter of Xiaocheng.
His father held a high position and held a large number of troops.
And her?
Although she was born in a branch of a famous family, her father's lineage was in decline, and his father was a man with high ambitions and low abilities. He would try to find evil ways if his own abilities were not enough. Seeing that my daughter was born well at a young age, I couldn't help but have my own thoughts.
First, he clings to his clan uncle and shamelessly raises her in his family, allowing her to study and read. He privately hires a teacher who is proficient in dance and music to teach her, so as to gain a reputation for her and get a good marriage. However, things in the world are unpredictable, with misfortunes and blessings coming every day.
Patient: "I have no relatives and no reason, and I came here begging all the way."
Her voice was hoarse and her tone was calm.
Only outsiders can imagine the actual suffering.
When the woman heard this, she felt sad.
"What about you? How are you doing after Xiaocheng?"
She had no impression of women at first.
But the woman said "a word of kindness", coupled with the other person's outstanding appearance, finally found fragments in the corner of the memory.
The other party is a dancer who has become famous even before she officially takes the stage. She is a beauty that many young people are looking forward to. Such a glamorous reputation certainly brought her a lot of followers, but it also caused resentment from the women behind these men who had been left out for many years.
Among them, a woman from a good family came to the door with a group of servants and guards, threatening to tear her skin to pieces, strip her clothes and throw her into the street for passers-by to watch.
The patient met by chance and stopped this.
Beauty is not the fault of the dancing queen.
The flies that come by the smell are hateful!
The woman smiled slightly and said: "Fortunately, my parents are considerate and have treated the slave family well in the past two years. There are no serious officials in the house, and life is much better than before."
The patient said: "This is a blessing in disguise."
The woman was startled for a moment and sighed: "If tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng can avoid being slaughtered, it would be better not to have this blessing."
Hers Life is inherently hard.
Anything worse would be just like that.
When she was ten years old, she was deprived of her family status due to her clan uncle's involvement. Even though her marriage was in doubt, her future husband's family feared her like a snake or a scorpion and they were anxious to cut off the relationship. He never thought of any old feelings to rescue her. She had no choice but to rely on her face, talent, and sweet mouth to win the favor of the boss, who regarded her as a "curious commodity" to live in. She carefully taught music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and vocal music, especially singing and dancing.
If nothing happens to Xiaocheng...
I am afraid that at this time, she is already the "number one dancer" pursued by the romantic talents in Sibao County. Is the treatment earned by Israel’s servants considered an honor? Those literati and young people from aristocratic families, their sweet words are just for the sake of a kiss.
Remove this thin fig leaf...
The naked worldly desires will be revealed. If she is young and perfect, she is the best. Once Chunhua gets old, her beauty and figure will be destroyed by time, but these celebrities, scholars, and young people from powerful families will not. They will pursue the next newcomer who is young and perfect.
Life is full of uncertainties.
Two young women whispered late at night.
When talking about the suffering, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.
Dong-dong-dong.
A clear knock on the door sounded in the dark night.
The patient's nerves are tense.
The woman put on her clothes, stood up and looked at the silhouette on the window.
Whispered: "It's the parent, girl, don't worry."
The patient then remembered with embarrassment that he lived in the benefactor's room, and outside was the parent of the mansion, and he was the one who The one that ruins the scenery. The woman stood up and opened the door. Sure enough, Gong Xiqiu was standing outside the door. But she keenly noticed that the aura around him was a little low, which she had never seen before after knowing him for so long. She secretly guessed that something bad had happened to her parents?
Gong Xiqiu’s eyes fell to another place.
The woman realized, closed the door, and followed his pace.
"The general came late at night. Do you have any important instructions?"
This has never happened before.
Even if outsiders assume that the woman is the concubine in Gong Xi Qiu's house, even if the man has been stingy and has not given her a status, there is only such a mistress in the house, and her status is different. Only women knew that the young general was devoted to martial arts and had no regard for men and women.
Even if there is, the woman must be able to withstand the beating and not be beaten to death or beat Gong Xiqiu to death in order to meet the criteria for mate selection.
Gong Xiqiu said after a while: "You pack your things in the next two days, and I will send my confidants to send you away from here to a very safe place, where you can live in peace and seclusion, and you will be safe."
The woman was startled: "Send him away from here? That general..."
Mr. Xiqiu frowned: "There are some private matters that need to be dealt with. No matter whether it is successful or not, the waves caused by it will send you to the Palace of Hell to report. I don't want to harm you."
Although the two of them are not male or female. However, after getting along for a long time, sincerity changed to sincerity, and Gong Xiqiu gradually regarded her as a sister. Since they are brother and sister, it is natural for them to find a way out for her.
Women hear the seriousness of the problem.
I wanted to open my mouth and say stay, but I bitterly found that I couldn't carry it with my shoulders or lift it, so staying would be a burden.
"Okay, when the general is here, how can I find you?"
"There is no need to look for you." Gongxi Qiu said indifferently, "This kind of life mixed with bloodshed is not suitable for you. .”
The woman felt a pain in her heart.
Feeling powerless.
Gong Xiqiu looked at the moonlight: "That's where I grew up, it's my hometown. Maybe you can bring new life to it."
"Can't you do that, general?"
"You don't understand. I was supposed to die on the day when my clan was exterminated. I went against God's will and prayed to God to let me live till now. For so many years, I have had no clan elders. I have been restrained by sticks and have done almost all the things that are prohibited by the family monument. My body cannot return to that homeland." Gong Xiqiu said freely: "You don't need to be sad, just wait for the body to be freed and the soul of the wanderer. , will return to her arms under the guidance of God.”
The woman doesn’t understand the story behind Gong Xiqiu’s words.
But——
"The slave family is brave, can the parents give me a name?"
Gong Xichou looked at her in confusion.
But still complied with her request.
Speaking of which-
It seems that I have never asked her name.
He pondered for a while.
Tao: "Then how about calling 'Lai'?"
ψ(｀)ψ
The woman's name comes from the Analects of Confucius: Those who have gone by cannot be remonstrated, and those who have come are still here. Can be chased.
The past cannot be undone and discouraged, but there is still time to prevent and fight for the future.
