From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 244

It's not that she scares her with alarmist words, but that she has heard too much about the secrets of the rich family.Just like a girl like her who didn't make any contribution to the family and only caused troubles, after being sent to the family temple, she basically couldn't come out again.

The poverty in the temple is not only bad food, but also hard work, and chanting scriptures. The most unbearable thing is that you can't see strangers, and you can't escape. It's almost like going to jail.

In the capital, anyone who can afford to build a family temple is either rich or noble, but it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Few of the women who were sent there could bear it.Depressed and resentful, he either ends up depressed or goes mad, insane, or dies.

Of course, there are also many people who are behind the scenes. Even if they can hide from the first day of the junior high school, they will not escape the fifteenth day. Basically, the woman who is sent to the family temple in the capital means that she is a dead person.

When it comes to death, no one is more afraid than Mei Jingqiu, especially in this situation, she looked at Pozi Ma with a wary expression and said: "You, what do you want to do? I... I was wrong, I will never dare gone."

After saying that, she got up in panic and she knelt down directly to Mrs. Ma.

Shocking words are useless, Mei Jingqiu said in a hurry regardless of the pain in her feet: "Mrs. Ma, no, not Mrs. Ma, mother, mother, I was wrong. I know I was wrong, and I will never dare again, as long as If you don't kill me, I promise I will listen to you in the future, and I will listen to you in everything."

She is only 12 years old this year, and her life has just begun. She doesn't want to die, she wants to live, to live as well as before.

Just now she was domineering and suddenly turned into a grandson. The sudden change made Mrs. Ma startled, and then she found that Mei Jingqiu was really not a matter of being arrogant and domineering.It's good for a person to be able to bend and stretch, but she also changed too fast. The most important thing is that she actually knelt down and begged for mercy. She really didn't have any character of the Mei family.

Frowning and shaking her head involuntarily, Mrs. Ma said word by word: "Everyone knows that the Mei family is born with pride, and would rather die standing than live on their knees. Aren't you humiliating your ancestors by doing this now?"

"The eldest princess just asked you to learn the rules and didn't say that she would kill you. You just sit down obediently." It's hard to draw a picture of a tiger from the skin, and if you change it, you won't have the character of the Mei family.Sure enough, three generations cannot be poor and rich, and the Mei family cannot escape the fate of one generation being inferior to the next.

To Mei Jingqiu, the word "ancestor" is just a piece of wooden tablet, a dead thing, so, not only does she not have a sense of awe, she also thinks this sentence is ridiculous.He would rather die standing than live on his knees. This is a fool, and he is still a big fool.Therefore, she didn't feel ashamed at all, and she didn't feel that there was something wrong with her.

Ants can steal their lives, let alone human beings. Moreover, she is still a little girl, survival is what she should be, and it is also a natural instinct.

She slowly changed from kneeling to sitting with her eyes full of vigilance, and she secretly glanced at Mrs. Ma, seeing that her expression was expressionless, she bent her knees and hugged her legs and remained silent.

Her ankle was still sore and she wanted to rub it with her hands, but she didn't dare to be scolded.After much deliberation or forgetting, she silently lowered her head and buried her head on her knees without saying a word.

It was finally quiet in the carriage, and Wang Eryin sped up again.Fortunately, the official road is smooth and easy to walk, and he didn't deliberately walk in those potholes, and the carriage didn't bump as much as before.

Half an hour later, the group of people were going to go down the official road and change paths to go straight to Suliu Village, but who would have thought that just as the carriage was crossing the road and ready to go down the path, a white horse would come straight up.

The speed was extremely fast, and the man on the horseback turned pale with fright, as if he never thought that there would be anyone at this corner.He pulled the reins tightly, but the speed during the running was so fast that he couldn't stop at all.

The Qingyou cart was not very high, and the man saw that he couldn't hold it, so he yelled, "Low your head and get down!"

Wang Eryin, who was driving the carriage, was very clever, and he knew from his posture that he was going to jump over the carriage.As soon as he rolled, he went straight to the ground, and before the lady Ma and Mei Jingqiu in the carriage had settled down, the fast-running white horse jumped over.

The horse neighed and his riding skills were excellent. After rushing about three or four zhang away, the horse finally stopped under the forceful pull.Tightening the reins of the horse and turning around the pier, I saw a man in his early twenties riding his horse.

His orchid temperament gives people the feeling of a modest gentleman, but his facial features are particularly deep, especially his eyes, which are as black as ink and bottomless, as if they can suck people in just by looking at them.Sword-browed and star-eyed, her black hair was tied up high but not crowned.Instead, hang down naturally and divide into two strands to hang in front.The bangs on the front of the forehead are slanted, not many, and slightly curved, giving people a blurred feeling.

I have to say that he looks good, and he looks like a knight in the rivers and lakes. If he didn't wear a round-necked Shu brocade robe under his cloak and an autumn water sword hanging around his waist, Wang Geng really thought so.

Turning off his horse, he bowed his hands before saying a word. The man said apologetically, "My surname is Jiang and my name is Zhehan. I was in a hurry and I didn't see clearly for a while. Please forgive me. I am here to apologize to you."

Before the words fell, the sound of horseshoes clattered into everyone's ears again.

The speed was not slow, but not as fast as he was just now, so that when they saw the carriage crossing the road, they all tightened the reins and stopped.

They got off their horses and walked behind the man holding their swords. One of the men who looked like a guard asked, "My lord..."

"It's okay, I didn't see that I bumped into them just now, and I'm apologizing." The voice sounded like spring water, and it was very nice. After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Geng who was riding on the horse.

I don't know how he judged that Wang Geng was the leader of this group, and he apologized again sincerely.

Wang Geng saw that he had an extraordinary bearing and unusual attire, so he sat on the horseback and saluted him, "Young Master Jiang, you are welcome, I..."

Only when she opened her mouth and said a word, Mei Jingqiu rushed out like a madman for no reason.Shouting and shouting: "Young Master Jiang, Brother Jiang, save me. I am the Fifth Miss of Prince Liang's Mansion, and I am Mei Jingqiu. Save me, save me quickly... Ah, let me go, let me go."

Before she could finish her words, the old lady hugged her tightly, and dragged her in with her legs.

Frowning deeply, Jiang Zhehan lowered his saluting hands, looked up at Wang Geng, who was full of beards, and then looked at the horses they were riding.Finding that they were all wearing weapons around their waists, and their mounts were not ordinary horses, they opened their mouths and asked, "Who are you, and why did you kidnap the female relatives of Prince Liang's Mansion?"

As soon as the word "hijacking" was spoken, his followers pulled out the swords they carried with them one after another, protecting him in the middle.

Wang Geng was a little speechless, but judging from their reactions, he obviously regarded them as bandits.
