When the beautiful young woman heard the word "siege" of Qichang Mansion, she couldn't help but glance at her junior brothers and sisters, and she seemed to be a little touched.
At this time, a guest with a Yazhou accent asked: "Excuse me, brother, the siege of Qichang Mansion. It is said to be quite a sensation, but I don't know how it happened?"
"Hey Hengzhou City, Qichang Mansion, besieging the city, I'm afraid many people will be harmed!" The woman who gave up her seat sighed softly!
At this time, even the girl in the pink skirt seemed very curious, and naturally asked for the reason, but the beautiful young woman always refused to tell. Finally, the girl in the pink skirt said: "Okay, if you don't say it, don't say it. You don't want to listen! Anyway, if you say it now, you may not believe it."
Then he turned to the woman who gave up his seat and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you all know? Let's talk about it, okay?"
The woman seemed to feel that the girl in the pink skirt was close to her, so she pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay. There is a cousin in the slave family who was also a concubine, so he is not that close! In recent years, the war has been turbulent all over the country, and their family has become far away. ! There is a cousin among them. When it comes to age, there is a gap of more than ten years in the clan..."
The girl in the pink skirt smiled and said: "This can be considered a close relationship. Her father is your uncle."
The woman smiled lightly and said: "That year, the Tang army invaded the Chu region and was focused on attacking Chenzhou, the northern city of Han Dynasty. They actually kidnapped my uncle and sent him to Hengzhou to build the city. This aunt from the Nu family took my cousin with me and heard that the Tang army was commanded by a giant elephant. The envoy Wu Xun and the eunuch Wu Huaien led the troops to fight back to Hengzhou, so they begged for food along the way to Hengzhou and looked for their uncle along the way."
Someone here sighed: "Because of the fighting among the horses in the Chu region, there were hundreds of miles of wilderness within its jurisdiction. The Tang army took advantage of the situation and defeated the Chu region, reaching as far as Chenzhou. It is extremely rare for a woman to walk hundreds of miles to find her husband in the chaos of war."
Some people sighed with emotion, and the woman said: "My aunt and cousin have very good looks. It is not easy to travel all the way. They also used mud to smear their faces to prevent bad people from taking advantage of them. In the end, the journey was safe, and they stumbled into Hengzhou..."
The girl in the pink skirt was a little strange. She looked at the woman and asked, "These people don't even have anything to eat, and they still get interested in it?"
Hearing her words, half of the people in the hall laughed. It seems that the girl does not understand the world. In this chaos, the most valuable things are women and children with no status.
Because any child who has grown up with a few years of carelessness can become another party's material. As for women, as long as they have food to eat, they can still have children.
The beautiful young woman couldn't help but look at her and said angrily: "Girls don't know how to talk nonsense and make people laugh!"
But the girl in the pink skirt was obviously a little unconvinced, and even muttered: "I'm just asking because I don't understand! If I understood, why would I ask, right?"
The woman didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "In fact, in today's world, as long as you leave this Lingnan area, there are some words that the little lady doesn't understand. My aunt and cousin have been gone for almost half a year, and they have been searching for nearly a year. The emperor has not failed me." After hard work, I finally found my uncle by the Xiangjiang River."
Everyone was sighing. It was obvious that the world outside Wuling was completely different from Lingnan!
"He was under General Zhang. Not only was General Zhang very vicious, but when my aunt first met my uncle, he had one of his legs broken by the general because of delays in building the city, but he was still struggling there."
When hearing this, everyone was naturally touched. Although Lingnan is regarded as a foreign land in the Central Plains. But at least in the past thirty or forty years, everyone has been basically stable. The Chu land was prosperous back then, but now it seems like it’s just a pile of ruins!
"My aunt was heartbroken and begged General Zhang to release my uncle and go home. But General Zhang would not agree. He said that my uncle was a captured slave and was rewarded by Master Zhang, the governor. Even if he has five hundred taels of silver, he cannot be let go easily." The woman sighed. I took a breath and felt emotional when I thought of this.
"My aunt couldn't get out even one tael of silver. Where could she get five hundred taels of silver? She took her cousin and wandered around Hengzhou City, and finally sold herself and her daughter into Goulan..."
When she heard this, the girl in the pink skirt was confused, but her words just now aroused the laughter of many people. At this time, she looked at the people in the hall, and they all looked solemn after hearing this. She knew in her heart that something must be wrong, naturally. I didn't even dare to ask any more questions, lest I make people laugh.
The woman continued: "After one year, mother and daughter have some savings, but five hundred taels of silver is not easy to get together in the war-torn Hengzhou City. Fortunately, there are people who know mother and daughter's hard work and often give more. Mother and daughter have endured all the humiliation. Finally, I collected enough. I brought it to the general's house and handed it to the accountant. I thought that we could reunite from now on. I was naturally happy at that time. I couldn't think of many things."
When the girl in the pink skirt heard this, she always felt that something was wrong, but when she heard that the ending was good, she was naturally happy on behalf of the mother and daughter.
But I heard the woman say: "Who would have thought that General Zhang, the cashier, asked his uncle to come out to meet him. The three members of the family were saying goodbye. How could he know that General Zhang had evil intentions when he saw his cousin: Come and redeem the person and bring up the money! Only then did my aunt understand. I was deceived and gave the money to the accountant for collection, so why do I need money now?"
"Sure enough, General Zhang knew that there was no way out. His face changed and he yelled: How could a certain general of Hengzhou City default on his money? My aunt was afraid of being sad and cried in the hall. General Zhang said: It doesn't matter, I will be merciful and let you reunite today, and Mortgage my daughter here. How can my aunt agree if she knows he has bad intentions? General Zhang shouted to his attendants to drive my uncle and aunt out."
When someone heard this, they naturally couldn't help but curse: "Wu Wu and Marquis Long Xiang took advantage of the victory to destroy Hengzhou City, allowing this traitor to escape! What if Chenzhou Marquis was here today? , His foundation has been cut off long ago!"
Wu's internal servant is the eunuch Wu Huaien of Han Dynasty, and the Dragon Elephant Marquis is naturally Wu Xun. In the sixth year of Qianhe's reign, he led his troops to attack Ma Chu and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty! The Marquis of Chenzhou is naturally the tyrant Pan Chongche, who is now famous in Lingnan!
"My aunt couldn't bear to part with her daughter, so she cried in front of the house. The people knew that she had been wronged, but Hengzhou is not the country of Han and Ma Chu. The Tang army treated the people within its jurisdiction like ants trampling on them. Who dares to come out and say something fair?" The woman With sadness and anger, he was obviously reminiscing.
Then he sighed again and said to everyone: "The most incredible thing is that the slave's uncle said: The general fell in love with his daughter. Why are he crying because he is lucky? I didn't expect that he has been a slave for a long time. Thinking of this, he has other thoughts. , asked where the money came from. My aunt refused to tell, so she was forced to tell her. My uncle said that she had ruined her reputation and was not a woman, so he wrote a divorce letter."
When I heard this, these people who traveled north and south were actually not that surprised. Because now in all parts of the Central Plains, there are the Central Plains Zhou Kingdom and the Puppet Han in the north, Shuzhong and Dali in the west, and Tang Kingdom and Wuyue in the south. The neighboring Fujian region has been lost, but wars are everywhere.
Naturally, the people who suffered the most were the common people. They all sighed in unison, saying that her aunt had suffered a misfortune.
