for evil

The mother-in-law pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not enough to give advice. I'm also in charge of some things. If I can't see clearly, I won't be able to see clearly for the rest of my life. But if the two sons want to hear it, I'm willing to talk about it, my wife." Let's talk."

Chen Ye said: "Listen carefully."

For the first time, the mother-in-law showed shyness on her face: "Where do we start?"

Chen Ye said: "Naturally, it was the person who made you wait for a lifetime and was willing to give up everything to wait."

The mother-in-law said, "That's a long story."

Mu Qing said: "Grandma seems to have read a lot of books?"

Chen Ye hurriedly interjected: "Yes, yes, yes! I've wanted to say this a long time ago. Look at my mother-in-law's temperament...it doesn't look like this...a man of the world..."

The mother-in-law unconsciously knocked on the table with her fingers and said, "Yes, my father was a businessman back then. He started his business from scratch with his own strength. The business grew bigger and bigger. Separate shop."

Chen Ye said: "He is a formidable person."

The mother-in-law said: "My father has three wives and concubines, and my mother is the youngest concubine. Although the relationship between the few people is cold, it is still decent. Living in a mansion, life is considered peaceful. I am the eldest daughter of my father. Later, my father's wife gave birth to two more daughters, and the other concubine has never had any children. Although my father has not studied much, he has seen a wide range of markets, so we are required to Girls also need to read books and learn some skills, so my two sisters and I know a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Mu Qing said: "I see."

The mother-in-law smiled: "I will talk about him later. He was originally a long-term worker hired by our family. At that time, he was thin and small, about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was the same age as me. He said that he was arranged by his father." The one who came to mend the courtyard wall, with a smile and big white teeth, looks very simple and cute."

Chen Ye interrupted: "That's when you fell in love with him?"

The mother-in-law said: "I don't know... I can't say I like it, I don't understand it. At that time, my father was busy with business and rarely went home, and the concubines didn't have much contact with each other. My mother was in poor health and was often sick. I often stay in the room and I can't see other people, so I play well with a few maids. Speaking of which, he is the first man of the same age I have seen, sometimes he will come to ask for water, come and go, slowly getting to know I got connected and became my first friend..."

Chen Ye said: "This boy will come, he must have taken a fancy to Grandma's beauty."

The mother-in-law couldn't hide her smile, and waved her hands: "He was very shy at that time, he stuttered when he asked for water, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Even if he was able to talk later, he still kept a word in a low voice. I couldn’t explain it over and over again. He was a person who was eager to learn and worked hard since he was a child. Later, in addition to begging for water, he even asked me to borrow books when I had nothing to do. I didn’t know until I heard that he was scolded by his master. He couldn't read."

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "What did I say! He has a purpose!"

Mu Qing smiled and shook her head.

The mother-in-law said: "I didn't puncture it afterwards. I took the opportunity to teach him something during the chat... He stayed at our house for two years. After the construction period was over, he left with his master. Before leaving, he still He said that he would work hard to learn to read and get a champion... and then..."

Chen Ye said: "Then come back and marry you?"

The mother-in-law said: "Then he didn't say a word... He looks unreliable, but he is serious about everything, and he never makes promises when he is uncertain."

Chen Ye sighed: "This bastard's temperament will make the girl anxious for no reason."

The mother-in-law smiled: "At that time, I was young and didn't know much about love, but I also had some expectations in my heart."

Mu Qing was fascinated, and asked earnestly, "And then?"

The mother-in-law sighed, and said, "Later, after two years, my father's business had problems and he suffered huge losses. Not only did several shops close down, but he also owed a huge amount of debt. In desperation, my father threw himself into the lake." .My mother has been in poor health, and after being hit by this, she also went away. The debtor asked us to use the mansion as collateral to repay the debt, but it was still too small, so... my father's wife sold me to the brothel ..."

Chen Ye and Mu Qing were silent, and they couldn't think of a word of comfort for a long while.

The mother-in-law was calm: "You don't have to be like this, it's all old things." The mother-in-law continued: "Actually, I couldn't bear this shock at the beginning. When my mother asked me to accompany the guests, I would rather die than obey." She doesn't force me, but she just doesn't let me go out. I will give food and drink as gifts, and I will figure it out myself. Slowly, cook the frogs slowly, and I will accept it after seeing more. After that A year of drunkenness, drunkenness, dreaming and death... At that time, I thought, the world is too hard, so let's indulge my passions, I don't know what I want, so I just sink... until I met him again..."

Chen Ye said: "God's will tricks people."

The mother-in-law said: "It's a coincidence that I folded a paper kite when I had nothing to do, and I threw it out the window, but it fell at his feet. He picked it up and looked up... I recognized him immediately, he He seemed to recognize me too, so I hurriedly closed the window. But those who couldn’t escape still couldn’t escape after all, he came over after all, and chose me.”

Mu Qing said: "He should be very surprised to see you."

The mother-in-law said: "Yes, in the house, we just sat like that. He asked me why?... How can there be any reason? The world is unpredictable, and it is a different way to meet again..."

Chen Ye said: "Then what about him? Has he passed the exam?"

The mother-in-law said: "His elm head, where is the material? But he is not good at writing, but he is good at martial arts. Although he didn't win the champion of martial arts, he was also named on the gold list. Military position, although the official is small, he is still an official, and he is considered a small head."

Mu Qing said: "Not bad, not bad."

The mother-in-law continued: "Later, he came to see me every day, but I realized that I was no longer the same person I was at the beginning. He gave up. But he insisted on saving money to redeem me..."

Chen Ye said: "Why didn't you agree to him?"

The mother-in-law said: "How can there be any lucrativeness in his small position? I am also an oiran. How can he bear the exorbitant price of redemption proposed by his mother? Although I believe that he will become a big thing in the future, but by then, I will be more serious." I can't..."

Mu Qing said: "How come?"

The mother-in-law smiled bitterly: "Later, I tried to make him leave in various ways, but if he came a little later every day, I would be worried, worried that he wouldn't come...so contradictory...he came every day, and ordered Serve two bowls of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and chat with me about the night..."

Chen Ye said: "Since that's the case, if your two hearts are happy, why bother?"

The mother-in-law said: "Yeah, when I finally figured it out, it was already too late. That day, he told me that there was a war in Pengcheng, and he was transferred to join the army, and he was going to leave for a while. I said angrily that I just didn't want to come back." He also got angry, saying that I was too hot-tempered, too arrogant, I couldn’t cook, clean up and only lost my temper, not as good as the girl next door to him! I got even more angry and pushed him out of them, telling him never to come back Yes! It was raining heavily that day, he stood in the rain for a long time, I watched him by the window for a long time, he said a word to me at last, and never came back..."

Chen Ye said: "He... died in battle?"

The mother-in-law said: "In that battle, too many people died, and I didn't see his body. I always thought that he might come back by luck."

Mu Qing said: "So, sell sweet-scented osmanthus wine and wait for him at the city gate?"

The mother-in-law said: "Yeah, later, I learned how to cook, especially his favorite rice balls, and I'll try it when he comes back... Later, I just waited and waited, I thought, if he can come back, I will try it." Marry him... and later, I decided to wait for him for the rest of my life..."

Mu Qing lowered her eyes and looked at the fermented rice in the bowl: "So there is such a story."

Chen Ye said: "That night... what did he say to you at the end?"

The mother-in-law fell into deep thought, and said leisurely: "He said: 'Axiu, wait for me to come back! Wait for me to come back to marry you'!"
