The carriage rattled slowly on the spacious official road.
The little girl sat in the car and asked Erxi to lift the driving curtain. Then she leaned in the car and calmly looked at the fields by the road and the farmers.
"They are all diligent!"
There was joy in my voice.
Erxi said, "adults, since women's status has improved, most men dare not be lazy."
Qingtian wanted to make xiaoniang happy, so he joked: "my Lord, if it hadn't been for the laziness of my father, I wouldn't have been castrated and wanted to go to the capital."
The little girl's face became pale. She said, "you also have a salary. You can do good things in the future. You can also adopt children. You should be good..."
Her voice was weak and even erratic in the sound of horse hoofs.
Qingtian said gratefully, "Sir, you gave us all these."
Gratitude is the most basic quality of a person. People who don't know gratitude will never have friends in their life.
Qingtian and Erxi are really grateful to xiaoniang, so they are willing to risk escorting xiaoniang all the way north.
"I gave it... No, Daming gave it, uncle gave it."
The little girl looked up and thought, then stretched out her hand to touch her hair and said, "it seems that there is white hair."
Erxi looked down on the horse and said, "no, sir, it's still dark."
Qingtian also took a look, but he saw the white in the black.
The little girl gasped and looked at the fields nostalgically.
"I used to farm. Although I was tired, I felt secure."
Her voice gradually had some middle spirit, which made Erxi and Qingtian happy.
"Everything else will lie, but the land will not lie to you. If there is no natural disaster, the land will give you back how much food you use, which is the most fair."
The ears of rice in the field lowered their heads heavily. A breeze blew and brought the smell of rice.
The little girl said happily, "it's another bumper harvest! The North says it's going to prepare for the war, so it's going to harvest grain this year, and these farmers can have more money."
The breeze couldn't move the ears of rice, but it moved the leaves of rice. The gentle sound was like the sound of nature in my mother's ears at the moment.
Her complexion is getting ruddy and her spirit is getting better and better.
"Help me down."
Erxi and Qingtian helped her out of the carriage and went into the field together.
The little girl asked the farmers in the field. From a few people in the family to whether she could afford meat, she was concerned about it.
Finally, she stood by the side of the road, looked back at the north and said, "I promised uncle to work for Daming for 50 years..."
Her face turned pale and her body began to shake.
Erxi and Qingtian quickly helped her, and an ominous premonition filled their hearts.
The little Niang began to breathe. Erxi was frightened and said, "Sir, go back to the horse cart."
The little girl shook her head and looked at the north.
"Back then... Uncle, I killed my husband and thought I would die. It can be seen that after uncle, I knew..."
The last Blush Rose on her face, and her eyes were more shy.
"I want to meet uncle in the capital and tell him..."
The little Niang's hands suddenly grabbed the arms of the two people around her, but her voice became weaker and weaker.
Erxi and Qingtian listened with tears.
The little Niang said in a subtle voice: "tell Uncle, I failed him in less than... Five... Fifty years..."
Horses were hissing, wailing came from the side of the official road, and pedestrians stopped one after another.
When I saw the woman who closed her eyes
The carriage returned again.
Just followed by many silent people.
Mostly women.
The sergeant guarding the city was stunned when he saw the carriage returning and asked, "why did you come back?"
Standing on both sides of the carriage are Erxi and Qingtian.
When they looked up, they were already in tears.
The sergeants subconsciously stood up straight, and the people blocking the city gate began to make way on both sides.
Everyone realized something.
Everyone looks dignified.
The curtain hangs down and swings slightly.
In the swing of the curtain, a child saw the little mother lying inside and shouted, "she's sleeping!"
Her mother shook her head, then covered her mouth and fell down with tears.
"My Lord!"
A woman knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
The carriage drove into the city gate, looked at the familiar carriage coming back again, looked at the two tearful men, and everyone understood.
"My lord..."
Those women knelt down on the ground one after another, just like those low headed ears of rice in the rice field outside the city.
The men froze there.
The woman is dead?
It was she who changed us from the head of the family to a man who must work to be equal with women.
We should hate her
Countless complex eyes were looking at the slow moving carriage.
"My lord..."
When a man knelt on the ground, countless people were looking at him.
He galloped to the outside of the chief envoy's office.
Speeding is forbidden in the city. Once it happens, it must be a major event or an emergency.
The guard sergeant of the chief secretary's Yamen recognized the man, but he was the guard sergeant, so he asked, "but there is an enemy situation?"
After Fang Xing's second expedition to the south, Jiaozhi gradually entered a quiet period. Occasionally, there will be a missed fish making waves, but only a circle of ripples.
In recent years, I haven't heard of any rebellion at all. Everyone thinks Jiaozhi is completely peaceful.
"Express sir! The city has been blocked!"
The sergeant guarding the gate was stunned and ran in first.
They ran in one after another, and the officials they met along the way were surprised.
What happened?
"Who's blocking?"
Wang Delong was in a bad mood, so his eyes were cold and fierce.
The sergeant who came to report gasped, "my Lord, my little lady, she... She's gone."
"Who?"
"My Lord!"
Wang Delong got up slowly, lowered his head slightly, sighed and said, "it's just... Not for half a day!"
The chief secretary was alarmed and the officials gathered one after another.
"Where's the little girl?"
The officials looked at each other, not knowing what their mood was.
Years of male superiority and female inferiority made them extremely disgusted with the little girl, but when she went, they found that those resentments were slowly dissipating.
"Sir, the city is blocked."
People from outside have confirmed this fact.
"My lord..."
What attitude should we take to face it.
Ignore it?
Let the people go to worship the strange woman.
Yes, no one doesn't admit that xiaoniang is a strange woman.
Wang Delong sighed again and came out.
The officials made way. Someone asked, "Sir, do you want to send someone to disperse the people?"
Everyone looked at Wang Delong.
Once people gather, even if nothing happens, once someone incites, it may turn into a mess.
Wang Delong walked in the "path" composed of officials, shook his head slightly and said, "go and have a look."
……
The carriage was moving slowly, the men on both sides were silent, and the women were kneeling on the ground.
They mourned that their protector had gone.
"Mother..."
When the little girl's daughter was brought by the future mother-in-law, the carriage stopped.
The little girl's daughter stared at the carriage, and then walked slowly.
Here comes Wang Delong.
He dismounted and looked at the scene in silence.
Behind him, the officials who followed got off their horses one after another, and then quietly watched the girl walking towards the carriage.
That woman has gone!
No one will argue with them for women's rights and interests in the future!
Are you happy?
No one smiled.
Until the girl slowly lifted the curtain.
"Mother..."
