In the long Pavilion, there was a gust of breeze and a rustle.
Su Lu sat on the brocade couch and looked down at the breeze and the moon.
"You grew up in Guangnan?"
The gentle breeze and bright moon should be respectful.
Su Lu continued to ask, "what do you think Guangnan looks like, how is life at home, and how are the neighbors?"
Qingfeng suddenly raised his head, and a trace of anger flashed on his cheek: "Lord, you are a great prince of Anguo and a great man who controls the north and South armies. Don't you know what Guangnan looks like?"
"In order to survive, my parents had to sell me. My family bought me. They provoked the county magistrate's concubine's cousin and were copied by the government. I was resold to the brothel and to Ruyi Fang, which became what I am today."
Su Lu sighed. The imperial court was out of reach of the border town. The local officials lost their control. Naturally, they were the mountain king. The old saying that the county magistrate who broke his family and the Lingyin who killed his family is not unreasonable.
Su Lu looked at the moon and said, "what about you?"
Mingyue's cheeks were full of peace: "my family is to blame. My father ate Fushou ointment and owed Qi people a debt. Naturally, he sold me to pay the debt, and I came to Ruyi Fang."
Fushou ointment?
Su Lu looked at the bright moon and said, "what kind of longevity cream? Why does it involve the Qi people? How powerful are the Qi people in Guangnan?"
Qingfeng's voice shrieked: "what kind of longevity cream? As the Grand Prince of Anguo, the governor of Xiting, and a former general in the north, you don't even know about longevity cream?
You don't need to pretend to be a good man in front of us slaves. We won't have a good impression of you officials. "
Su Lu clapped his hands. Four or five bodyguards appeared and surrounded the breeze and bright moon.
"Take the breeze away and let her calm down. If she can't calm down, let her go back there."
Qingfeng glared at Su Lu fiercely. He was not afraid at all. He just said coldly, "you officials are all angry as expected."
Su Lu waved his hand, and Qingfeng was taken down by several bodyguards.
Su Lu continued to ask Mingyue, "Mingyue, tell me about your childhood experience. I grew up in Xuanfu when I was a child. I don't know Guangnan, so I can't know what your life is like."
Mingyue's head was lower and her voice was thin and crisp: "my Lord, Mingyue has grown up in Guangnan since childhood. Since I can remember, there are four mu of paddy fields and three mu of dry fields at home. Although life is difficult, it's not sad to rely on her parents to work diligently."
"I remember that it was the ninth year of the first emperor. Qi people suddenly appeared in the town, and the Fushou paste restaurant began to appear. At first, the family had no money to buy it. They planted some vegetables in the field and sold them in the market. The money they got was only enough to buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, which had nothing to do with my family."
"The first person in our village to eat longevity cream was Er Liangzi in the east of the village. His family had a better time. His parents were there. Er Liangzi's family had a good life. Later, something happened. Er Liangzi's mother died. Er Liangzi began to eat longevity cream somehow."
"The original brick and tile courtyard is dilapidated. Everything that can be sold at home is sold. Every day, several local ruffians come to ER Liangzi's house to ask for money. Slowly, er Liangzi's house is completely empty."
"Slowly, more and more people eat longevity cream in the village. I don't remember when my father ate longevity cream for the first time. I only remember that the number of quarrels between my parents began to increase. There were no paddy fields, dry fields and mu by Mu at home."
"There are local ruffians asking for money at home, or those who go to ER Liangzi's house to ask for money. They block my door and force them to take the money, otherwise they will tear down my house."
"The first one to be sold was the eldest sister. On the day when the eldest sister was taken away, there was lightning and thunder in the sky. Because my family was poor, my eldest sister and younger brother had not had enough food for many days. That day, the eldest sister shouted hungry. The younger brother braved the rain to catch fish in the stream and said to come back and cook fish soup for the eldest sister and me."
"I was going to go with my little brother. My little brother wouldn't let me go. He said that women are weak and can't get wet. They can't be cured when they feel the wind and cold. The boys are angry and all right."
"Before my younger brother came back from catching the fish, my elder sister was dragged away by the local ruffians. I chased outside the door and was kicked by a local ruffian named San mangzi. I lay down in the mud. I watched my elder sister stuffed into a gray carriage by them and walked along the muddy road in the village."
"When my little brother came back with the fish, he was like a clay figurine. He was wet all over and his cold teeth were shaking. I got on fire, cried to warm my little brother, and wiped his hair with the rotten clothes left by my eldest sister."
"My younger brother asked my eldest sister. I didn't know what to say, but I just cried. My father was as thin as a bone shelf because he ate longevity cream. He said that my eldest sister sold it, got five liang of silver, and returned four or twenty-five dollars to the longevity cream restaurant in the town. The rest can let him eat longevity cream once."
"My younger brother carried his breath directly. I ran five miles under the heavy rain. I begged Dr. Huang of Beiling village to prescribe some medicine and boil it back for my younger brother. After waking up, my younger brother sat in the yard and watched the sky all day."
"I remember it was a day when warm flowers bloomed. My little brother told me that he was going to find his eldest sister, and he would also find her when he went to the horizon. I prepared a ragged baggage for him, wrapped some clothes, and stole a penny of silver hidden at the foot of the bed by my father, which was secretly stuffed in his baggage for him to use on the road."
"On the third day after my little brother left, the three lepers came to my house again. It was still the gray carriage. The leading local ruffian was called Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu said to me, my father decided to sell me because I stole his money."
"The eldest sister was sold, and the younger brother left. I had no nostalgia for this family, so I sold it. I didn't use the column to pull them. I got into the carriage myself, obeyed them, and did whatever I was asked to do."
"Unexpectedly, because I was obedient, I was attracted by the people who bought me in Ruyi square and bought me directly. Since then, I have lived a better life than at home. Are you ridiculous?"
Bright moon's cheeks were full of tears. She looked at Su Lu and asked.
Su Lu leaned back on the brocade couch and thought of that troubled era. It was also the invasion of foreign enemies and the blessing and longevity cream everywhere. The people were in dire straits, corrupt officials were rampant, and the country was defeated.
"Where's your mother?"
The mud next to him asked, and his face was also full of tears.
The bright moon suddenly looked at the mud and smiled, like a lotus swaying in the rain: "of course, it's sold. Will it be well provided?"
The mud clenched his fist.
Several bodyguards also clenched their fists, and there were tears in their eyes.
Su Yun picked up the bright moon and comforted him:
"Don't blame my brother for this. When you and Qingfeng were sold, my brother and I were still working in Xuanfu to earn a living. If it hadn't been for the Kou Bian of Tule army three years ago, my brother would not have entered the army, or met his majesty and become the current Princess of Anguo."
"When we were young, although the North was chaotic, we could eat at least. Compared with you, our life was better."
"But don't worry about Mingyue. Lord Zhou Yuan of Anton has come to see my brother just now. He told my brother about Guangnan. My brother will certainly punish Guangnan."
Mingyue looked at Su Lu in surprise: "you are the prince of Anguo and the prince of the imperial court. Were you the same people as me three years ago? Impossible, impossible!"
The mud said, "sister Mingyue, my family belongs to Suozi castle. Three years ago, he was still farming in Suozi castle. When he followed the Lord, he was only a lieutenant, not even a lieutenant."
Among the bodyguards, DAHAO said, "I'm the first group to follow the Lord. My Er Hao killed the bandits. I overcame the lack of Er Hao. I followed the Lord three years ago. At that time, the Lord just met his majesty. He was still a battalion captain, and there were only 200 sergeants under him."
