"I just came back and saw that the lights in my mother's house were still on, so I came over to take a look." Yi Feng said, walked to sit across from Yi's mother, took the tea handed over by her mother with both hands, and drank it.
The Xiao family's industry has just started in the capital, and there are a lot of things going on. In addition, Xiao Ming has a temper that doesn't care about everything. Ming Sheng and several young guys are not experienced enough to deal with those experienced shopping mall veterans. As the great butler, he had to personally keep an eye on many things, and all the work was placed on him. He was so busy every day that he kept spinning like a top.
He was so exhausted that he turned into a cow.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Yi Feng saw that his mother looked wrong and asked with concern.
"Nothing's wrong, I'm fine." Mother Yi shook her head and sighed: "I came back to the capital. I have been walking around in the past few days and found that many places have changed."
"Yes! The capital has changed a lot in recent years." Yi Feng also nodded and sighed.
Fast forward six years, the capital is no longer the same capital, and the familiar doors and courtyards have long been replaced by new owners.
And they are not who they used to be.
The capital has changed a lot, and I think my mother also thought of her old self.
"In the past few days, I suddenly thought of Mrs. Dong, the master who taught me embroidery. I just don't know where she is buried, and I have nowhere to go to pay my respects."
Yi Feng was surprised and looked up at his mother who was in nostalgia. He knew Lady Dong. She taught her mother her excellent embroidery skills. At that time, Lady Dong was extremely skilled in embroidery and could embroider on both sides. Later, during the prince's wedding, Lady Dong was selected to enter the East Palace because of the wedding dress she embroidered for the prince.
The mother was also valued by the old master because of Lady Dong's relationship and excellent embroidery skills. The family lived a very prosperous life in the old master's house. The mother was the manager of the embroidery room and the father was the manager of the outer courtyard. He had been studying since he was a child. Wu Yi is the young master’s entourage.
For a family-born son, it is extremely honorable for them to be reused by their master.
Everything seemed beautiful and beautiful. I originally thought that their family would continue to live like that, being slaves born to other people's family for the rest of their lives, and their children would continue to be slaves.
However, things are unpredictable. The accident six years ago changed their lives and made him understand how sad it was to be a slave in the face of fate.
The old master was afraid of getting into trouble, so he sold them off at lightning speed, completely ignoring the friendship between master and servant. They began a wandering life. Their father lost their wife, they were disfigured and abandoned. During that time, they went through a life of The most miserable road.
After many lives and deaths, I finally have the stable life I have now.
Thinking about their life now, he was even a little lucky.
"How about I inquire secretly?" Yi Feng asked.
But Yi's mother shook her head: "It's better not to go and avoid getting into trouble! Although I can't worship in person, I lit a lantern for her in Dajue Temple and paid for some sesame oil every month, so that my relationship with her can be settled. A master-disciple relationship.”
After hearing this, Yi Feng fell silent. After all, what happened six years ago is still taboo today. I heard that there was a river of blood in the palace that night, and nine out of ten people died, including an insignificant embroiderer. Death in the palace was nothing more than a straw mat thrown into a mass grave.
Regardless of the past, Yi's mother looked at her son who had lost a lot of weight and said with distress: "It's been a tiring day, so go back and rest!"
"I know." Yi Feng nodded, but did not move. It was obvious that there was something else, but he was accustomed to speaking after the other party had finished explaining.
Mother Yi also understood his habits, and then said: "Ask your wife to stop making shoes and clothes for me. I don't need these. Let her take care of herself and don't get sick. Xuan'er will be back soon. She has to take care of it."
Mother Yi did not send errands to her daughter-in-law Liu Yu, and asked her to take care of her at home all the time. Liu Yu made clothes and shoes for Mother Yi when she was free. Naturally, Mother Yi, a master of female celebrities, did not dislike it. Her daughter-in-law respected her and kept it. She has been using needles all her life, so she naturally knows the pain involved. If you don't pay attention when you are young, your eyes will not be able to heal when you are old.
When you marry a daughter-in-law, you don't want to rub someone else's way.
Mentioning Yi Xuan, Yi's mother's mood improved again. Yi Xuan went on a trip with Brother Han. Four years passed by and he saw that he was about to return home. How could she not be excited? She hadn't seen him in four years and didn't know how he would grow up. What happened.
"I should be filial to you." Yi Feng said. Liu Yu had become quieter since she married him. He liked to do things for them, so he let her go.
"I met Manager Tao again today." Yi Feng said the purpose of his visit today.
"Ha! He's really thick-skinned than the kitchen stove. Why do you still want us to go back? His eyes are dim and he hasn't woken up yet." A rare sarcastic look appeared on Yi's mother's serious face.
"Yes!" Yi Feng nodded humorously. Manager Tao was the steward of the old master's family. When he went to the Xiao family store to buy seeds, he happened to meet him to check the accounts.
On that day, Manager Tao questioned him and his mother, and even asked them to go back to their old master's house as errands, saying that the master's family regretted selling them and had been sending people to look for them, but unfortunately they could not be found for six years. Now that we have finally met them, I hope they will go back and they will entrust them with important tasks to compensate them for the suffering they have suffered in the past six years.
Of course he refused.
go back?
Continue to be a slave?
Does freedom taste bad?
Have you been looking for them for six years? Who believes it? It wasn’t because the rebel Sixth Prince was executed and the Crown Prince succeeded to the throne that the old master’s family would think of them, the person they sold. Just because my mother had been in and out of the East Palace because of Lady Dong’s relationship, the old master’s family also borrowed Because of this relationship, he once clung to the prince and regarded himself as one of the prince's party.
It was precisely because of this that they ruthlessly sold the Sixth Prince away when they plotted rebellion.
After experiencing the taste of freedom, the world outside is so vast. Who would want to go back and be a slave for others? Without freedom, if you put your life in the hands of others, life and death are not yours.
Back then, it was because they were slaves and despicable people that they were easily abandoned.
Nowadays, they are also rich people, and he also has a decent job. If nothing else, his reputation is probably better than that of his old master who only had an idle official career.
God is watching what people do. After the new emperor ascends the throne, the grassroots will not be able to take on important positions. It is difficult for an empty official with a meager salary to maintain the dignity he deserves in such a large capital. I heard that the ancestral property has been taken over.
Should he persuade the girl to add one or two good properties?
Well, that's good advice. Yi Feng thought happily.
After learning that he was working as an errand in the Xiao family, Mr. Tao came more frequently. He was not a fool. How could he not know what his plans were with the shrewd calculation in his eyes.
Just as there is a master, there is also a slave. He has the face of a villain who tends to others and seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.
