I am a widow, they call me Widow Qing. I heard that there is a widow with the same name as me in Ba County, but she is a businessman with a huge family fortune. Even the emperor built a Huaiqing Terrace for her, and I am just a widow. An ordinary peasant woman.
My husband was a dead man without a name. That year the Zhao Kingdom was about to be destroyed. He left home and I never saw him again.
Pregnant, I stepped on the bones and blood everywhere after the war, endured the pain of my stomach churning, and asked many people, but they all remained silent about my husband's whereabouts.
Until one day someone finally told me that my husband stayed in Dai forever in order to protect the Zhao Kingdom’s last hope, Gongzi Jia...
Before giving birth, I walked all the way from Handan to Daidi and searched every place there, but I couldn't even bring back a single bone of my husband.
On the way, I gave birth to my husband's child with the help of my enthusiastic aunt. My aunt said that thanks to my walking around while I was pregnant with the little guy, the birth went smoothly. However, I didn't eat well and the child was too thin and was a little weak after birth. , and also got sick.
In fact, my husband didn't know that I was pregnant when he went there, and I didn't dare to tell him.
If he knew, would he have concerns when he went?
Since I can't see my husband's body, I always feel that he is still alive, although many people laugh at me for talking nonsense.
I named our child Zigui. I didn’t have the particularity of a scholar. I just wanted him to come back...
Zigui and I stayed in Handan for seven years. Because of Zigui's illness, our family's money had been exhausted. I even sold the last piece of jade left by my husband.
In fact, Yuyuan is a pair. My husband takes one and I keep the other.
Later I went to wash clothes for wealthy families.
In the early winter, my hands and feet were soaked in the biting cold water and they were just so cold that I lost consciousness. However, in the middle of winter, my hands were covered with frostbite and it was difficult to even move my fingers. But Zi Hui returned and waited for me to get the money to give him. see a doctor……
I also cut grass, feed livestock, cook, and make clothes for others...but there is one thing: I will never warm someone else's bed.
"Pretending to be chaste? Do you really think that His Majesty will build you a Huaiqing Terrace?" I have long been used to others humiliating me as the widow of Ba County.
In fact, it is a very glorious thing for a widow to remarry, and she will be regarded as a good woman by her neighbors. Many people favored me and advised me to remarry, but I didn't overdo it.
Later, I was pestered so hard that I slashed my face with a knife. Although it hurt at the time, I really didn’t feel the pain anymore when I saw Zigui whining at me with tears in his eyes and saying it didn’t hurt.
Fortunately, no one bothered me after that.
Today I sold my house in Handan and took Zigui on the road to Songhai. Because the doctor said that Songhai has a pleasant winter climate, which is much better than the bitter cold of Zhao, and it may be possible for Zigui to survive this winter...
"Mom, where are we going?"
"Sanghai."
"Are you looking for Aweng?"
Looking at the child's pale face, I couldn't bear to tell the truth, so I smiled, touched his head and replied against my will: "Yes."
We started our long journey in early autumn to take care of Zigui's condition. We stopped and stopped all the way, and finally arrived in Songhai before winter.
"Mom, mom, Qi is really more interesting than Handan."
"Shh, Zigui, remember, there is no such thing as Qi State."
My child was very sensible. He shrunk his furry little head, puffed out his cheeks, and smiled at me: "Mom, my son has gone to the wrong place."
I shook my head, rubbed his dry yellow hair and said, "Zigui is so good, but Aweng is not in Linzi. I heard the kind doctor said he is in Songhai."
I lied to Zigui again.
In fact, the climate in Linzi is also very suitable, but my money is not enough for my mother and son to live here. After all, this is the old capital of Qi State.
"Okay, then...then we won't stay here. Mom, let's hurry up."
A few days later.
Although Songhai does not have the business and pedestrian traffic of Linzi, it can still be regarded as a prosperous small town.
After giving my name and checking the household registration, I heard a lot of people saying shortly after entering the city: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, Mr. Zhang Liang and Mr. Yan Lu are in the east of the city. If you don't go, you will miss the opportunity to see their beauty."
I have heard the names of these two people mentioned in Handan. There should be another person with them named Fu Nian.
They say that the third head of the Confucian family is a romantic man, the second head of the house is graceful and graceful, and the head of the house is a man of great character. They are all rare good men in the world. But in my heart, the most pleasing thing is the handsome and handsome appearance of my husband.
My husband is a dead man, with a dignified and solemn figure, and a cheerful and clear face. When it is solemn and solemn, it is like snow covering the mountains, and when it smiles at me, it is like the bright moon in the sky.
I heard that he killed many people, but I am not afraid, and he has never made me afraid.
We met by the Nagisa River. He fell in love with me and I fell in love with him, so we went to roll in the reeds on the shore.
Later, my husband found a good matchmaker and brought me back home with the six courtesy ceremonies. In fact, when I decided to roll with him in the reed swamp, I had no extravagant hope of marrying him...
I took Zigui and rushed to the east of the city. Zigui was bumped into by the girls who rushed to watch the excitement from time to time. I was afraid that he would be injured, so I protected him in my arms. We went to the east of the city not to see the romantic and handsome Three Heroes of Qi and Lu, but because I only had enough money saved for a ten-day trip.
Just now I asked a young man where the cheapest tour in Songhai was. The young man glanced at me and Zigui, and after a long while he impatiently told me. He said that he should go straight along this road and go to the seaside in the east of the city. There is a shabby house there, and staying there for one night is cheaper than traveling against the odds.
"Zigui, if you keep being patient, we'll have a place to stay when we get to the east of the city."
"Don't worry, Mom, Zigui is fine." My child grabbed my hand and comforted me in a serious manner. Looking at his pale little face, I felt a throbbing pain in my heart.
After finally arriving at the place, I paid some money to the store, and the store arranged a small wooden house for us. Although it was much cramped compared to the one we lived in Handan, I was very satisfied to think that I could successfully find such a cheap place to live. .
I asked Zigui to have a good rest, but I didn't dare to delay. I had to go to the city to find a living and buy some hot food for Zigui. The child has been eating solid food with me for a long time. Although he has never complained to me, I know he doesn't like it.
"I saw Mr. Zhang Liang, I saw Mr. Zhang Liang, right over there!"
"And Mr. Yan Lu, he is so handsome..."
I shook my head helplessly, pushed through the crowd with difficulty, and rushed towards the city.
I finally managed to get through the crowd, but I was stunned before I had taken two steps.
If Zigui saw me like this here, he would have hurriedly grabbed my clothes and said, "Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you? Mom, don't be sad. Wherever it hurts, I'll give it to you."
I looked at the jade pendant lying on the ground in shock. My whole body started to tremble unsatisfactorily, and I could no longer hear any noise around me.
I finally bent down and carefully picked up the jade pendant. I held it in my hand and looked through it over and over again. I almost dropped it several times because of my excitement.
It’s the jade that my husband gave me. It’s the jade that my husband gave me when I was in love!
"Madam, do you recognize this jade?"
"Ah, Mr. Zhang Liang talked to that ugly woman!"
If Zigui were here, he would be so anxious that he would explain to me stupidly: "My mother is not ugly, my mother is here for...it is for..." That child doesn't know what to say every time he says "for". , looked angrily at the other person and said nothing more.
"Look at the scars on her face, how scary they are. Oh my god, why is Mr. Zhang Liang willing to talk to her? He must be pitying her."
I calmed down and looked at the Mr. Zhang Liang they were talking about. Just as I was about to say something, I heard another man's voice coming from the other side. "Ovary?" I looked over, my mind going blank.
"Senior brother, Liang found the thing you lost, but..." Zhang Liang pondered and motioned his senior brother Yan Lu to look at me.
When I came back to my senses, my hands hidden under my sleeves were still shaking a little. I looked at my husband expectantly, hoping that he would be surprised. Unexpectedly, he asked me: "Does this lady know this thing?"
He doesn’t recognize me anymore…
Even the temperament has changed.
The only thing that hasn't changed is his appearance and voice, including those beautiful eyes.
I opened my mouth, eager to tell him: I know. But there was only politeness and gentleness to strangers in his eyes, and nothing else.
"Why is this ugly woman taking other people's things and not returning them even though Mr. Yan Lu is talking to her?"
Yes, I am an ugly woman, and I scratched my own face. Although I didn’t care before, but now my husband... my husband is wearing a gorgeous blue and white Confucian uniform, standing in front of me so handsomely, but I... Start to care.
He was so clean and I...
I started to feel lucky that I didn’t bring the child back from my trip just now, because the child looked so much like his father. If he was here, why couldn’t he hide it?
"No... I don't know him." I grabbed his hand in a hurry and stuffed the jade back into his hand, leaving him stunned and running away.
I searched for a long time in Songhai City in despair, but could not find a place that wanted female workers. I had no choice but to buy some hot food and returned without success.
"Mom, do you think Aweng is really in Songhai?"
I didn’t expect that my unintentional words of coaxing the liar back would actually come true. But after mumbling for a long time, I still couldn't tell him that his father no longer remembered us, mother and son.
"Yes." Not wanting to disappoint him, I gave him an affirmative answer.
That night, I missed my husband so much that I couldn't sleep.
In fact, I haven't been like this for a long time. When I was pregnant with Zigui, I was afraid of affecting Zigui's health, so I always restrained myself and told myself not to be sad, let alone miss him too much. Later, when I gave birth to Zigui, I took care of him wholeheartedly. , there is little time to think about anything else.
The next day, I changed into a piece of coarse cloth. This was my most beautiful outfit.
I climbed up the mountain alone and went to Xiaoshengxian Village.
Knocking on the side door, I asked the Confucian disciple who was disdainful of me: "Sir, do you still need someone to cook?"
"Tsk, tsk, cooking, is that all you do? Why don't you ask me where the food in my little Shengxian Village comes from? Do you know of an inn? The food for the three heads of the family is all cooked and brought here by shopkeeper Ding. , even the food we ordinary disciples eat is carefully cooked by his staff."
"What about other jobs?"
"No, no, no."
I originally thought that I would work quietly in the Little Sage's Manor and just watch my husband from a distance, but I didn't expect that the Little Sage's Manor was such a grand place. In fact, when I walked to the gate, I knew that my expectations were destined to be disappointed, but I didn't expect it. I'm willing, I just want to ask again.
Later I went to an inn to see it. Indeed, shopkeeper Ding’s craftsmanship was beyond my reach.
But I am relieved that my husband is living so well now.
Fortunately I found a job in a small wine shop on East Street.
The Little Saint's Mansion is on the hill behind East Street, so it seems good to be able to guard your husband like this.
"Ugly woman, serve wine and fish."
"The guest will come soon."
I started my daily work. And with the money I earned, I could finally find a doctor for Zigui.
"Ugly woman, although your face is ugly, your voice is not bad. Come and sing a song for the gentlemen."
These customers actually have no ill intentions, but they like to tease me like this. The shop owner also urged: "Sing if the customers want you to sing."
I think it's just a song, just sing it.
"If you don't have land, you will be arrogant. If you don't think of people far away, you will work hard."
What I sang was the famous song of Qi, which was about a wife missing her husband who was away at war.
"If you don't have a field, you will only be a wee bitch. If you don't think about people far away, you will work hard and be dull."
Graceful and promiscuous. Total angle. See you soon, suddenly! "
