Chapter 14
Jiang Xu's father was the former Prince Yong'an who was stationed in the frontier.Her mother, the daughter of General Chen, made a red-tasseled gun.
Five years ago when the foreign enemy invaded, my father didn't believe the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and fled for his life with the whole family and all the soldiers.
In the evening, when we arrived at Xiaoyu Mountain, it rained heavily, the mountain road was extremely muddy, the carriage was too heavily loaded, and the horses had not rested for a long time. Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer, Jiang Yin gritted his teeth, raised the young Jiang Xu, and made a gesture to throw him out. outside the car.
"My lord, this is our child!!!", Chen exclaimed sadly.
"Ignorant woman." Jiang Yin summoned his inner strength and threw his little daughter towards the hillside covered with weeds.
When Jiang Xu heard Eryu, a popular singer in the flower boat, singing "Folding Willows", Jiang Xu suddenly stopped.
Snowflakes as white as jade fell in the sky, and the chill spread from the top of Jiang Xu's head to the bottom of his feet.A child on the street exclaimed, "It's snowing, it's snowing!"
The nanny couldn't help but said: "It's getting late, madam will be worried, miss, let's go back."
When he was walking to Qingchang Road, Jiang Xu saw a black mass, and upon closer inspection, it was a child who had passed out from freezing.
Taking a closer look at the lantern, the boy's messy hair was covered with purple lips.Under the thick eyelashes, there is a blue-black halo.
Frowning tightly, it seems that it is difficult to resist the biting wind and snow.
There is a black tear mole at the end of the eye, which seems to indicate the young man's fate of "flowing for a lifetime, floating for half a lifetime, and a lone star".
fate?Now that wars are raging everywhere, who can be prosperous and rich in troubled times, and have no worries for a lifetime?
"Nurse, take him back for treatment." The girl untied her crane cloak and put it on the boy.
"Miss, the world is in war, and the people are in dire straits. It is common to have bones frozen to death on the road. You can't see people who have passed out from freezing, so you should take them back for treatment. What if they are the killers of the Yaodaotang who are desperate." The nanny hesitated. .
The girl frowned her slender willow-leaf eyebrows, and on her bright moon-like wrist was a silver bracelet inlaid with lotus jade.
Jiang Xu gritted his teeth, although he was a little bit reluctant, but in order to save others, he took off the bracelet.
Put it at the boy's feet.The young man was awakened with a start, his eyes filled with horror, perhaps seeing that Jiang Xu was harmless, his eyes were mixed with a little gratitude.
"Miss, we all don't have enough to eat now, how can we have spare money to care about others' life and death," said the nanny.
"Save it if you can, lest it's too late to regret it later." After Jiang Xu finished speaking, he took the nurse away.
The young man was left holding the bracelet tightly, staring fixedly at his savior, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of the savior in his mind.
When Jiang Xu returned to the house, the nanny went to tell Mrs. Chen who had been waiting in Liuyunju for a long time.Mrs. Chen rushed from Liuyunju in a hurry, her blood-colored cloak was stained with snowflakes, but the eight-treasure glazed hairpin was not inserted on the thick cloud temples.
"Axuer, news came from the frontier that General Chen led fifty thousand soldiers to defeat the Hu people." Chen said in a low voice.
Jiang Xu recalled her grandfather, General Chen, a heroic old man in his late teens, and feared that he believed what his father said.
She and her mother died of the plague.Mother resented father for abandoning his wife and son, and she was afraid that grandpa would punish mother for losing her position as princess, so she definitely would not take the initiative to seek refuge with grandpa.
That eight-treasure glazed hairpin was a birthday gift from my father to my mother in the fourth year of Tianbao, and now my mother doesn't have the hairpin in her hair, so I'm afraid it was pawned on the way to escape.
When the mother found herself dying under the brambles and weeds, the sharp gravel cut the skin behind the ear, and the baby's skin was delicate, leaving a shallow scar.
Fortunately, the sky was dark and the rain was pouring. The barbarians went to chase the things thrown out of the carriage, but persisted in chasing the carriage with the golden curtain in the front.Jiang Xu and Chen were able to survive.
But Mrs. Chen didn't tell Jiang Xu that her grandfather had an arrow in his chest. Although it was pulled out, the poison on the arrow made the military doctors helpless.
Chen's eyes were flushed, she didn't want her daughter to know such a sad thing, she only hoped that her Xu'er would always be innocent.
Chen choked up a little, coughed with fists, pretended to be very serious and said to Jiang Xu: "Ah Xu, mother found you a private school teacher, you can follow mother to visit tomorrow." Waving, the nanny knowingly brought the men's clothing made of coarse cloth.
"Miss, now that a large number of refugees are pouring into Yecheng, you are playful. To be on the safe side, you should change into men's clothing." The nanny brought a gray-brown coarse cloth men's clothing.
Jiang Xu remembered that Li Gou'er next door said that in the alley in the west of the city, there were refugees who caught the daughters of ordinary people and sold them to Goulan.
A chill suddenly rose in Jiang Xu's heart, like a poisonous snake, slowly crawling against your skin and reaching your calf.In troubled times, a woman's life is really worthless.Perhaps, human life is worthless in the first place.
When a landslide occurs, no one is the exception who survives.
After going in with the nanny and changing into men's clothes, Chen looked at her worriedly and said, "Xu'er, you will wear men's clothes from now on, don't tell others that you are a woman."
Jiang Xu walked to the door of the house and called "Mother", but there was no reply.Walking to the backyard, I saw rows of soldiers, the leader was wearing black armor, with a long scar on his face, from his forehead to the bridge of his nose, looking at Jiang Xu with gloomy eyes. "You are the Second Miss of the Wangfu?" The man made a cold voice.
When Jiang Xu saw these soldiers, he called his mother and did not respond. At that time, his back was covered in cold sweat.Did your mother encounter any accidents?Did they kill mother?
Seeing Jiang Xu's blank face, the man came over and lifted Jiang Xu's chin with the tip of his sword.Asked: "Do you know what we are talking about here?"
A red mark was drawn on Jiang Xu's snow-white neck by the tip of the sword, and blood beads rolled down on the sword, showing a bit of chilling air.
"Mrs. Chen is dead. If you know her better, go to the palace. In a few days, prepare to go to Xuanyuan Kingdom to get married." The man dropped these words.
"Mother is dead???" Tears in Jiang Xu's eyes slid down her immature face, and she fell to the ground crying, "You killed my mother!"
"Little thing, human life is like an ant, and the princess ordered us to kill it. If Mrs. Chen hadn't been General Chen, I would have given her to the soldiers to play with."
The man came over and kicked Jiang Xu in disdain, knocking Jiang Xu over.
Jiang Xu rolled on the ground a few times before stopping while pulling on the grass. She looked down at the grass in her hand, and it seemed to be a little bloodstained.
Unable to see clearly in her tearful eyes, she wiped her eyes with her dirty hands and saw clearly the blood-stained grass here.
"You are so vicious, my mother reconciled voluntarily. Why did you kill my mother?" Jiang Xu howled.
"Do you understand that the new concubine wants to kill the weeds? If you don't kill your mother, how can she consolidate her concubine position." The man didn't bother arguing with Jiang Xu.
"You guys drag her to the carriage and burn this house down later." The man waved his hand and summoned a row of soldiers.
"How did you find us? Tell me?" Jiang Xu yelled on the ground.
A bracelet rolled down in front of his eyes, Jiang Xu grabbed the bracelet and took a look, isn't it his own?Look up at the man, hoping he will tell you the truth.
"Do you want to know the truth? The truth is that this bracelet is in a pawn shop, which happens to belong to the princess.
When the shopkeeper presented this bracelet to the princess, did she see Jiang Xu engraved in the lotus jade when she was playing with it? "
The man smiled and said, "Are you surprised, if you didn't bother so much and saved that filthy little beggar, the princess wouldn't find out that you were still alive?"
"That word is engraved on the pattern of the lotus flower. If it weren't for the sunlight shining on the bracelet that afternoon, the princess wouldn't have been able to find it." The man looked at Jiang Xu with the victor's eyes.
"It's just a pity for your nanny. Seeing your mother being killed, she didn't want to be humiliated. She hit the post and died. You said that you were a broom star, killing everyone around you." The man squatted down, lifted Jiang Xu's chin with his hand, and said jokingly.
Jiang Xu closed his eyes, two lines of tears fell down.
"You are obviously a broom star, but you still learn from others to help the world. You can't protect yourself, and you still show kindness everywhere. My little princess, you are really stupid like a pig, hahaha." After finishing speaking, the man raised his hand and slashed with a knife To Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu was knocked unconscious by a hand knife and thrown onto a dilapidated carriage.
Jiang Xu woke up leisurely in the carriage, clutching his forehead that was hurt by the carriage, looking at his broken palms, thinking of A Niang's death, he felt sad.
He also killed the nanny who rushed over from the imperial city to take care of him, so he really deserved to die.
Jiang Xu couldn't get rid of his sad emotions, and fell down on the carriage crying.
The wound on the neck that was originally scabbed, but because of the violent ups and downs of emotions, blood beads rolled out from the red mark again, which was shocking.
No matter how hard life was in the past, I still had my mother to rely on and my nanny to give me warmth.Now I am like catkins in the wind, floating to nowhere.
Marriage?To marry someone I have never met, to marry that hairy monster with a beard.
"Shut up, you little bastard, you're making a lot of noise." There was a burst of shouting from outside.
Jiang Xu was scared when he heard this, and didn't dare to cry too loudly, so he sobbed softly.
The carriage drove on the road for two or three days, and Jiang Xu tried to slip away on the pretext of going to the forest to go to the bathroom.While running, he stepped on a dead branch and tripped over it, and the noise alarmed the guarding soldiers who carried it on their backs.
Jiang Xu's legs were short, and she couldn't outrun those tall and burly soldiers. After a while, she was picked up like a chick and thrown into the car. The soldier said fiercely to her, "If you run again, your legs will be broken. If you don't Your marriage is useful, I have killed you long ago."
The scarred man brought a hemp rope and tied Jiang Xu's hands and feet tightly, "Run away, how will I get the reward if I run away?"
The scarred man slapped Jiang Xu and said, "You little bastard, be honest with me. You are so stupid and want to run away. Why didn't your mother discipline you properly?"
Walking to the imperial city, the sound of sales around the official road at night is still as bustling and lively as the brightly lit scene that Jiang Xu saw at the Lantern Festival when he was one year old.
The carriage gurgled toward a bluestone alley, and at the end of the alley was Jiang Xu's home.
