Passerby's daily life

Chapter 77 Sisters Recognize
The two sisters did not avoid the girls, but walked casually, seeming to be a little farther away from others unconsciously, at least their words would not be overheard by outsiders.

As for the maidservant, she was stopped outside the plum grove by the princess long ago. At this moment, there are only a few precious green calyx plums beside the two of them?

Susu looked at the few flower buds that were about to bloom on the branches, and smiled slightly: "Sister Seven, long time no see."

She had clearly seen her in Prince Ke's mansion, but Ruan Qiniang understood the meaning of this sentence.Those who met in the palace were the second young wife of Annanbo's mansion and the little maid of Shun'anbo's mansion, and the ones who met today were the sisters of the Ruan family.

Just this one sentence, Ruan Qiniang almost shed tears! "Thirteen mothers."

Susu hurriedly pulled out the handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to her, "My dear sister, you are all mothers, so you will lose the gold beads every now and then!"

Ruan Qiniang also knew that her emotions were too revealing, and she was seen by someone after a while, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a forced smile: "" Thirteen Niangs have grown up too! "

Susu laughed out loud when she heard this, "Seventh sister is married and became a mother, so why should I follow my sister to ask for sweets!"

Thinking of the sisters when they were young, Ruan Qiniang also showed a nostalgic smile, and then said seriously: "Thirteenth Mother has wronged you!"

Su Suyao nodded, "Seventh Sister, I'm not wronged. Although I work as a maid in the Song Mansion, the old lady treats me like a granddaughter." Then she was bought by Zhao's mother, and because of the aunt's kindness, she was bought by Zhao's mother. At the risk of beheading, he changed his identity and sold it to the Song family.And then how the old lady of the Song family told her to her sister one by one.

Since Ruan Qiniang dared to recognize her sister in private, she also sincerely recognized her sister, and naturally she didn't want her to always be burdened.

But Ruan Qiniang was not surprised when she heard this, she seemed to know something about Susu's life, seeing Susu looked at her suspiciously, and sighed: "Silly sister, then Mother Zhao is naturally a good one, but the current emperor hates her so much The one who joined our family, just because he is a matchmaker, how can he change your identity without any flaws? It was the third aunt who cleared the tail for her. How else can you say that good people are rewarded with good rewards! Even my mother said Aunt Su has great vision, but it's a pity that as a woman, she has such a face!"

Seeing that Susu is still in the cloud, anyway, today I want to make it clear to my sister, so Ruan Qiniang told the story of Auntie Su's good relationship with the third wife of the Duke of Zhen because of her scent. Susu.

Susu's eyes widened. She didn't expect that the aunt who was so soft and beautiful in her memory was so capable.Susu flipped through the memory again, not to mention, there are really some medicinal prescriptions, which are put in the corner of the memory, waiting for the owner to look through.

Susu didn't accept all the original owner's memories at that time. She was used to these triggered memories, so she was not in a hurry to read them now. She had more important things to ask Ruan Qiniang.

"Sister Seven, how is mother? How is Brother Six?" Thinking of Ruan Liulang, who was exiled in the Northwest at a young age, Susu's heart felt as if she had fallen into a jar of bitter water.

Ruan Qiniang knew this feeling. The Zhen Guo Mansion was her natal family, but not her natal family. Although no one dared to underestimate her because of the Zhen Guo Mansion and the third uncle, it was not that no one said it in private. Some acid words.To say that she is the daughter of a criminal minister married to the second young master from Annanbo's mansion is an understatement!
Ruan Qiniang felt uncomfortable, but she could only bear it until the day when the Ruan family came back.

"Mother is very good. Now I have a pair of twins under my knees. They are five years old!" Speaking of her mother, Ruan Qiniang's expression was full of complexities. Although she knew that her mother and father did not have much relationship, they spent most of their time in Liguo's mansion alone. Konggui, she also felt very distressed.

But the mother remarried and had children. Being a daughter is always complicated. This is not the same as having brothers and sisters born out of concubine. Most of the mother who belongs to her is abruptly taken away by others.Especially when I got married, became pregnant, gave birth, and confinement, because my siblings were still young and my mother couldn't do without, this feeling reached its peak!

Think about it, after my mother kept filial piety for her father for a year, she remarried to the Northwest with the support of her third uncle. I haven't seen my mother for six years, because this Ruan Qiniang even resented her mother and uncle, but she was also a relative after all. Well, as a mother, I have some understanding in my heart, so the two are entangled, and I am not very willing to mention it.

Ruan Qiniang also knew that Susu was more concerned about Ruan Liulang, so she comforted her: "Don't worry, the sixth brother and the other brothers and nephews are all fine. Although the northwest is suffering a bit, the Holy Majesty does not dare to be too extreme, and there is a mother secretly Taking care of them, I didn’t suffer much, and I didn’t have to worry about eating and drinking.”

Ruan Qiniang was afraid that Su Su would be sad, so she didn't tell the truth.How could it be possible to avoid suffering when exiled to the northwest? No matter what the mother said, she remarried, so how could she take care of her ex-husband's concubine and grandson with great fanfare.

The letters from the sixth younger brother are all included in the private letters between him and his mother, and they always report good news but not bad ones. It is good to be able to save their lives under the pressure of the emperor. No need to guess, Ruan Qiniang can imagine the hardships involved.

The only thing Ruan Liulang expressed emotion in the letter was about Thirteen Niang, but Ruan Qiniang dared to write these things about losing her head in the letter!
Just look at the surviving Erlang who is still suppressing the Ruan family to know how much the Holy Majesty hates the Ruan family today!If this letter is discovered by someone with a heart in the station, what awaits the Ruan family will be the crime of deceiving the king by beheading!

Ruan can only tell his younger brother that Thirteen Niang is fine.One letter a year, Liu Lang asked three times, and then stopped asking.Although Ruan Qiniang is sad, as long as everyone is alive, there is hope!
Although the thirteenth mother died on the surface, but Susu is alive, how many of the Ruan family's female relatives are still there today?
The hatred in Ruan Qiniang's heart was like a fire, it never ceased for a moment, bear with it, let's see who gets killed!
"Thirteen Niang, as long as people are alive, there is hope. You must keep in mind what I said next." Ruan Qiniang's expression was serious and even a little scary, seeing Susu nodding and smiling like a flower Yes, he stepped forward to hold Susu's hand, but what he said was not at all easy on the surface.

"Four Dukes, Six Marquises and Eight Uncles of the founding of the country were hereditary lords conferred by the founding Emperor Shengwu. Sharing the status of the country, future emperors should also remember the meritorious service of the heroes who assisted the country and rejuvenated the country."

Su Su was taken aback when Ruan Qiniang said that. Duke Li just participated in the seizure of the throne.

Perhaps it was because the expression on Susu's face was too obvious, Ruan Qiniang sneered a few times, and explained: "It's just a political game, and our father really offended the current Holy Majesty, so our family was pushed out. It’s just the chicken that made an example to the monkeys! He killed our father and brother for the crime of treason, and all the underage boys were exiled to the Northwest, suppressed in every possible way, and the female family members were all used as official slaves, and they were not allowed to be redeemed. The Mansion of Liguo no longer exists, but the other [-] founding nobles in the capital know that the title of the Duke of Liguo is still there. As long as the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing to do is to reinstate the Ruan family, otherwise the other [-] families will never Will agree to open this kind of precedent, who knows which company will be next round?"

"Nowadays, there are all sorts of suppressions today, but they dare not toss to death. The remaining Ruan family son is because he is afraid of causing public anger! You know, the eighteen noble families who founded the country in the capital have been married for generations. How many other girls and daughters-in-law from other families? Except for my mother, this time they are all compensated!" These words, Ruan Qiniang squeezed out between her teeth, trembling her fingers in hatred.

Susu held her hand and said worriedly, "Sister Seven!"

Ruan Qiniang let out a long breath, "I'm fine! I hold these words in my heart, and I dare not even tell your brother-in-law. They think I don't know, but they don't know that my mother told me everything she knew the night before remarrying. , Tell me to live well, we will always wait until the Ruan family rises again when we are young."

Susu has something in her heart that has been puzzling for seven or eight years, "Seventh sister, why did the government of Liguo participate in the thankless matter of winning the heir apparent? Feng. It's not because my aunt is Princess Liang, is it?"

Ruan Qiniang sighed, and said: "Although the son never speaks of his father's faults, you should know something." Then Susu heard a very bloody story.

As I said earlier, the eighteen founding families of the capital have been married for generations, and they are all relatives in a roundabout way!
The current empress dowager and the old lady of Xianli Guogong's mansion are two cousins. When the current empress dowager was still a concubine Shu, she raised the second prince who had a low birth mother because she had no children. She really loves her in her heart!When the second prince entered school at the age of three and had to choose a companion to study with, Concubine Shu wanted to choose a tall one for him, who would also be a help in the future.After choosing and choosing, he chose the cousin's son - the eldest grandson of the Duke of Li's mansion at that time, the father of Ruan Qiniang's sisters, and later the Duke of Li.

Rong Wang and Li Guogong grew up together, and they are relatives. The relationship is very close, but when they grow up, they fall out because of one incident.

Because of what, Ruan Qiniang couldn't explain in detail, but Susu also understood, it was just a hero's sad beauty pass.The two fell in love with a woman at the same time, but Li Guogong used disgraceful means to marry the woman who admired King Rong, who was Li Guogong's original wife!
In fact, this is a love triangle. It would be fine if we stop here, but unfortunately there is a but in everything.

Perhaps Duke Li also felt sorry for his brother, so he matched up his sister and the second prince, and Concubine Shu was also very optimistic about this pair.Unexpectedly, this aunt was so arrogant that she looked down on the second prince who came from a humble background but was called cousin because he was raised by his aunt. On the contrary, she had a fierce fight with the eldest prince who was born to the precious concubine. The king has a concubine, but because of this aunt, he forced the concubine to retreat to the temple, and she will soon be gone.

The precious concubine begged the emperor to give her a marriage order. This aunt was supposed to be the second prince's concubine, but she became the first prince's second concubine. She even imagined that the first prince would ascend the throne. Her mother would love the world!But he didn't know that the second prince looked benevolent, but he didn't have a big heart. He hated the Duke of Liguo's mansion in his heart, and even Concubine Shu was much colder towards the Duke of Liguo's mansion.

After that, the second prince also became king, and took a noble daughter as his concubine, who is now King Ke's biological mother.

Now that the grievances between the Holy Majesty and Li Guogong have come to this, if you think it is over, you are too naive.Facts have proved that there is no most bloody, only more bloody!

Duke Li was still the eldest son at the time, and his wife and Princess Rong were pregnant one after the other, one for seven months and the other for five months. They attended a palace banquet during the New Year, and the two pregnant women ran into each other, and an accident happened.

The son of Duke Li and King Rong arrived at the same time after receiving the letter, and it would be fine if they went their separate ways, but the panic-stricken two people ran to the same person, and King Rong took the lead.

Under the eyes of everyone, everyone was stunned. King Rong was holding Mrs. Li Guogong's son, while his own princess was still on the ground.

Although the next moment, Duke Li snatched his wife away, and the eunuch beside King Rong shouted, "The prince is in a hurry, he didn't see clearly", but everyone has eyes and is not blind!Concubine Rong is not at all similar to Mrs. Li Guogong, except for the clothes.

Although this farce ended before the late emperor arrived, the follow-up story is still happening.

Both pregnant women gave birth prematurely. Mrs. Li Guogong and his wife gave birth to a boy, and she collapsed. Although Princess Rong survived, she had a miscarriage. Not to mention the loss of a boy with complete arms and legs, and her body was injured. It took four or five years to give birth to his son, King Ke.She herself was lingering on the sick bed for a few years and disappeared.

And from that day on, the prince of Li Guogong and the current holy majesty have been at odds with each other, and they have gone further and further away.The Duke of Li's mansion also completely surrendered to Liang Wang, which ruined several things of the current emperor, and even endangered his life once.

It is also expected that when he ascends the throne, he must strictly manage the Duke's Mansion.It's just a pity that so many young children of women's families were implicated.

After hearing all these anecdotes, Susu's doubts were also resolved.

"Thirteen Niang, I saw you today and told you these things. I just want to tell you to live well. Even if there is great suffering, I still have to think about it! I still have a way to think about it, but you, Seventh Sister There is no way to recognize you in public, even if our family regains the title in the future, we will not be able to recognize you, do you understand?" Ruan Qiniang looked at Su Su without blinking and said.

Su Su nodded, "I didn't understand at first, but later I also understood that Ruan Shisanniang died of illness seven years ago, and now there is only Susu!" , Twelve mothers were sold far away, and they specially found a few children from poor families in the suburbs of Beijing, and with the help of the third wife of the Zhenguo government, they completely picked themselves out. It can only be Su Ho, not Ruan Weidan.

Even if the Ruan family is restored to the title in the future, all the glory and wealth have nothing to do with Susu, this is the price of freedom!
"Seventh sister, Mrs. Song has already given me the deed of selling my body and canceled my slave status. Now I am not only a commoner, but also have [-] acres of fertile land under my name! In the future, the old lady will find a good family for me to marry, please sister Don't worry! If there is a chance... please tell the sixth brother that Susu is fine!" Susu felt sad when she thought of not being able to recognize her brother in the future. It showed her courage and warmth in facing the strange world!
Ruan Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The reason why she took the risk to meet Susu today was because her grandmother already knew Susu's identity; The details; the third is that Shi Niang told her about Thirteen Niang giving her money.

It can be seen that Thirteen Niang has also been secretly inquiring about the sisters. She came prepared at Kewang's Mansion that day, and she did it impeccably!

Grandmother said that Susu is intelligent and sentimental, so it is better to tell Susu the truth, lest Susu miss her sister in the capital and brother in the northwest, and let someone with a heart find a flaw, and then it will be troublesome!

Although the old lady of Zhen Guogong is not his own grandmother, his mother has been brought up under his grandmother's knees since childhood, just like his own. Now neither the mother nor the third uncle is in the capital. How could she sit so securely in the seat, Ruan Qiniang naturally believed what her grandmother said, that's why we met today!
Naturally, Su Su didn't know that because of her special eyes and appearance, at least two noble people in the capital had already guessed her true identity. Su a lot of help!
"Seventh sister, sister Long of the second brother's family is in the Shun'anbo Mansion. I don't know what happened, and she became a lowly actress! After all, what my mother said at the time was very important!" Ruan Susu remembered that she had the same pair of eyes as herself. The little girl, her own life may not be as good as Ruan Qiniang, but she is much better than most of the female family members of the Ruan Mansion!
Ruan Qiniang never expected to know the whereabouts of a relative.Sister Long is the prostitute daughter of the third and second young master of the Ruan family, and also the favorite great-granddaughter of my grandmother back then!

Although official slaves cannot redeem themselves, the wives and young wives of the Ruan family are all from well-known families. Except for the aunt and concubine, the four aunts were all bought by their relatives. Food.

The second sister-in-law is the grandniece of the grandmother, and she was born in Rongguo, one of the four great kingdoms.Although Rongguo's mansion has been in decline since the death of their grandmother and brother, their uncle and grandfather, but no matter how emaciated a camel is bigger than a horse, how could Sister Long fall into a humble status and become an actress.

You must know that although official slaves are slaves, they are better than humble ones.Could it be that Sister Long has also been changed?

Susu saw Ruan Qiniang's doubts, and sighed: "Sister Long didn't change her identity. I recognized her, so I inquired about her identity. The mansion remembered that she was an official slave. She was bought into a theater troupe when she was five years old." , and Sister Long has very little memory of Sister-in-law Two!"

Neither Ruan Qiniang nor Su Su knew what happened to the second sister-in-law, but this did not prevent them from finding ways to bring Sister Long out of the Song Mansion.

Every official slave has written records, birth, age and physical characteristics. Although the emperor always remembers to add trouble to the Ruan family, but seven years ago, Sister Long was less than two years old. It is impossible for the emperor to focus on her. The best The solution is for Ruan Qiniang to come to the door directly and explain the situation to Mrs. Song. Anyway, everyone knows that the second young lady of Annanbo's mansion is the daughter of the former Li Guogong's mansion. Properly arranged, I think the old lady will still give this kindness!

The two sisters spoke up, feeling much more open-minded, and were about to go back when they saw the third girl from Annanbo's mansion, the fifth girl from Rongxianhou's mansion, and the fifth girl from the Song family walking over!
These three are not only the concubine's concubine, but also the same age.People often say that people of the same sex repel each other. Not only did the three of them not repel each other, but they even felt like friends at first sight. I just heard that there were a few precious green calyx plums here, so I looked for them.

I didn't expect to see Ruan Qingniang and Susu talking and laughing, as if they had known each other for a long time...
