Chapter 41 "Du Niang"

After Li Jia went back, he was depressed and sighed sooner or later.Sun Fu's words reached his heart, which made him struggle very much.On the one hand, he couldn't let go of his beloved Ten Niang, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to disobey his father's order, otherwise he would lose his bright future.I watched Shi Niang hesitate to speak a few times, and it was hard to speak when the words came to her lips.

At night, when Shi Niang was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly heard a sigh coming from her pillow, so she asked Li Jia if she was worried.

Li Jia became more and more sad when he heard this.

Ten Niang simply put on her clothes and asked again sincerely: "You and I have known each other for two years, and now we are more husband and wife. What kind of things do we have to say to each other? If the son doesn't say anything, but keeps the words in his heart, wouldn't he be sick from boredom? Concubine You put your whole body and mind on the young master. If the young master is like this, the concubine can't comfort him, so how can he feel at ease. Besides, one person thinks about the shortcoming, and two people think about the long-term. If the young master has any difficulties, you might as well say it. Wouldn't it be good for you and me to discuss it together? ?”

Li Jia knelt down in front of Ten Niang, weeping bitterly: "Shi Niang, I have nowhere to go, please ask Ten Niang to help me, I will never forget Ten Niang's friendship."

"My lord, what are you doing!" Shi Niang was taken aback, and just about to avoid kneeling, she was startled by the ominousness in his voice.

Shiniang knew that the Li family opposed her joining, and Li's father wrote several letters to reprimand him. Li Jia did not dare to go home because of this. He might be refused entry, but he didn't expect that Li Jia, who has always been gentle and affectionate, would change his heart so quickly.

Ten Niang was like a thunderbolt, with a bit of despair in her eyes, holding back her sadness, and asked, "My lord has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

Hearing this, Li Jia hurriedly described in detail the meeting with Sun Fu today and what the other party said.

Ten Niang smiled sadly, her heart was cold, she fell back and sat on the bed.Although Shi Niang regrets that she has seen the wrong person because of her lack of eyesight, but her lover has changed his mind, and she definitely has no intention of stalking him.Thinking of the tenderness and tenderness between the two of them in the past two years, and even daydreaming about the happy and loving future in the daytime, now it is really a pot of cold water pouring from head to toe.

"My lord has already agreed to him?" Ten Niang's voice was light and light, but she was determined to live and die.

Li Jia's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't discuss it with Shi Niang, so I dare not agree without authorization."

"Shameless!" Suddenly there was a cold shout, and Ping An's angry voice came from outside the door: "Ten Niang, open the door quickly! I want to see what kind of face Li Gongzi sells his wife!"

These days, Ping An has been busy with small business, and his plan is almost done, and he is about to discuss it with Shi Niang in detail, after all, he is penniless, and Shi Niang has to pay for the capital.Originally, she had seen Li Jia's state and didn't care about it, because she had preconceived the original story and always believed that Du Shiniang committed suicide on the river. Come to the door early.

During dinner, Shi Niang sighed with her, saying that Li Jia was very abnormal today.

At that time, Ping'an casually said a few words of comfort, but when he was sleeping at night, he always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't fall asleep because of tossing and turning, and in the dead of night, he heard faint voices coming from the next room.Ping An accidentally heard a person's name—Sun Fu, and suddenly sat up, his complexion changed drastically.When she came outside Ten Niang's room and heard the whole thing, she was already furious!

The voice of Ping An awakened the desperate Ten Niang. She didn't want Ping An to be involved, but Ping An refused, so she had to open the door.

Li Jia was ashamed and nervous when he heard Ping'an's voice, so he quickly got up from the ground and stood there silently.

Although they live under the same roof and eat in the same pot, Li Jia and Pingan have a normal relationship and rarely speak.Firstly, it was out of the intention of avoiding suspicion, and secondly, Ping An looked down on Li Jia, and Li Jia felt that Ping An didn't look like an ordinary maid, and he always felt a little out of place.Seeing Ping An come in with an angry face, Li Jia was already guilty, but at this moment, he bowed his head and became tired under the contemptuous eyes of Ping An.

"Ping An..." Ten Niang opened her mouth, but her face was full of tears, her despair dissipated, and she was full of heartache and grievance.

In the original story, Shi Niang was alone, relying on Li Jia wholeheartedly. Li Jia gave birth to a heart to resell her, and she had no other way out, so she finally decided to throw herself into the river.Now there is Ping An beside Shi Niang, who looks like a master and servant in name, but looks like a sister, and because there is a soul from another world living in Ping An's shell who has gone through many ups and downs, his words are very thoughtful, and it has become Shi Niang's psychological support virtually. The two depend on each other for life in the world, which is better than blood relatives.

Seeing Ping An, Shi Niang lost the despair that she had just wanted to die for relief.

Ping An came to her, held her hand to give support, then looked at Li Jia, and asked in a cold voice: "I didn't hear clearly just now, maybe I made a mistake, Mr. Li wants to sell his wife? Ten Niang is worth thousands of gold and silver? Yes or no?"

Li Jia redeemed Shiniang's life, and Liu Yuchun not only lent them a house to live in, but also arranged a red candle bridal chamber for them.Although the marriage of the ancients was the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the marriage between the two of them was not recognized by the clan and had no legal effect. However, Li Jia was not forced to marry Shi Niang, but he did so willingly. The clan doesn't recognize it, but he himself regards Shi Niang as his wife.That being the case, right now Li Jia is going to sell Shi Niang to Sun Fu, isn't it selling his wife?Fortunately, I am still a reader!

When Li Jia was asked, his face was blushing, tears dripped from his eyes, and he still defended himself: "There is nothing I can do about it. I have known and loved Shi Niang for two years, and I really can't let go of it, but my father came with a strict order not to allow it." I will bring the prostitute back home, otherwise I will cut off the family relationship between father and son. If so, what face do I, Li Jia, have to stand between heaven and earth?" He said to Shi Niang and begged: "The grandson's family is very rich, and now he is willing to give a thousand pieces of gold for him. The price is to bring Shi Niang back to Yangzhou to enjoy the glory and wealth, and promise to love Shi Niang very much and not to make Shi Niang feel wronged. Shi Niang! I implore Shi Niang to fulfill the reputation of my Li family and my Li Jia In the next life, I would like to be an ox or a horse to repay Ten Niang's kindness in this life."

You Ke said the previous words, and even heard that she was going to be transferred to someone else, but when she heard the last sentence, Ten Niang suddenly felt that the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and her heart was piercingly painful.

Completed the reputation of the Li clan?To fulfill his Li Jia's future?

Could it be that in Li Jia's eyes, she, Du Shiniang, is also an indistinct stain?

When Li Jia knew her, she was a prostitute in Chunguangyuan. At that time, she was sweet-talking, gentle and affectionate, and she didn't care about spending thousands of dollars.She thought that Li Jia's heart towards her didn't care about her background, if he cared, why would he still marry her after his daughter was gone?But now this sentence immediately obliterated everything in the past, piercing her heart with unbearable pain, her complexion turned pale, and she almost died.

He regretted it now, and wanted to abandon her, and his parents would forgive him when he returned home.This is human nature, even if she feels sad, she will not resent too much, but his begging made her feel resentful.

The acquaintance at the beginning was all because of his willingness. How could she, Du Shiniang, have ever forced her a little bit?Now all these sins will be laid on her head.

I thought they were two rare people in the world, confidantes in this life, but they turned out to be no different from other men.

Although Ping'an loves Shi Niang and hates Li Jia, but it is a private matter between the two of them. She can come forward to help, but it depends on Shi Niang's attitude first.Ping'an was also disgusted by Li Jia's words, suppressed his anger and carefully observed Shi Niang's expression, seeing that she was no longer blindly desperate or sad, he was slightly relieved.

Seeing that she was full of worries, Shi Niang felt warm in her heart, and gradually came to an idea: "Ping An, you go to sleep, this is a matter between me and Mr. Li."

"Shi Niang..." Don't worry about Ping An, I'm afraid that Shi Niang will soften her heart, or be stimulated to despair again.

Ten Niang smiled lightly, with an indescribably sad heart: "Don't worry, I won't do stupid things, I still have you."

Seeing that she really did not intend to seek death, and thinking that she was right next door, Ping An nodded: "Shi Niang must remember to think twice, if Shi Niang is gone, how will I gain a foothold in this world? I only have Shi Niang as a relative."

Ten Niang's eyes were slightly wet: "Yes."

After Ping An left, the room was silent.

Li Jia intervened because of safety, adding more variables to the matter, which made him uneasy.

In the darkness, I suddenly heard Ten Niang's voice: "Young master has spent thousands of gold on me in the past two years. Now that you are penniless and unable to return home, Ten Niang is really to blame. If Shi Niang is only single, In order to repay the young master's friendship, I also complied with the young master's wishes, but I am still safe..."

"Then Fu Sun's family has a great career, so he doesn't care about Ten Niang bringing a maid." Li Jia interjected eagerly.

Ten Niang's heart became colder, and the corners of her mouth rolled up mockingly: "Young master, why should you be impatient. Ping'an is different from me, and I will never follow in my footsteps. Besides, following Mr. grandson is just to be a concubine. Mr. Sun Sun is in a bad mood, so he can sell us off at will, so he will be separated from Ping An Tianya. After all, Mr. Sun and I fell in love with each other, and Mr. Mister, please have mercy on Ten Niang."

"I, I'm sorry for Shiniang." Li Jia thought that Sun Fu's suggestion was very good, that Shiniang had a good place to go, and he had the lost and recovered thousand taels of silver to go home. , more and more do not know what to do.

Shi Niang wiped away her tears, and said in a low voice: "I know you are like this, it's because your father is strict, you can't let go of your family affection, and Shi Niang will not resent each other. I will raise the thousand taels of silver for you. On this day, I temporarily moved out my household registration with Ping An. You know me, I want to be good, and now I am finally out of the sea of ​​suffering, even if I have no husband and wife with you, I want to live the rest of my life clean."

"The matter of household registration is naturally easy to handle, but the thousand gold..." Li Jia wondered how she would raise money. Now that she has been in a good profession and has no means of earning a living, where can she get the money?

"Yuelang and I are the best friends, and now I can't bear to beg her. Just one thing, if Mr. Sun comes to inquire about the news, you should be vague for now, don't let the news go, so as not to cause trouble in vain." Finally, Shi Niang His voice turned cold: "If the young master is coaxed by the grandson again, I must go with him, and I will die in front of the young master!"

Li Jia was startled, and quickly agreed.

That night, Du Shiniang went to rest in the safe room, but Ping An stayed up all the time, she could hear the voices in the next room clearly, and immediately understood Shi Niang's intentions.After all, Shi Niang felt resentful in her heart. The reason why she didn't tear her face directly and sent Ping An away was only because she escaped from the good and her two household registrations were directly under Li Jia's name. If Li Jia was offended, no one would dare Guaranteed whether it will be forcibly given to Sun Fu.

Shi Niang was so hurt by Li Jia that she dared not trust him anymore.

The next day, probably feeling ashamed to face Shi Niang, Li Jia hid early with the book boy.Ten Niang returned to the room, hugging the big red dressing box, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Hearing Shi Niang's suppressed cries, Ping An felt uncomfortable.

How did Li Jia know that he was struggling to find a thousand gold to return home, and there were more than a thousand gold in Shi Niang's dressing box.

The money and treasures described in the original story are somewhat exaggerated, but as a well-known courtesan in Beijing, Shi Niang has received many dignitaries, rich and powerful merchants, and she has indeed saved a lot of money by avoiding the old bustard.Although she kept this matter from Li Jia, she just wanted to marry like an ordinary woman with a proper dowry. Although Li Jia didn't know about the money, Shi Niang had never been stingy about the daily expenses.Ten Niang is careful and sincerely wants to live with Li Jia. She inquired about Li Jia's population and temperament, and prepared gifts for everyone, but now there is no chance to give them out.

Ten Niang is arrogant in her bones. Last night when she learned that Li Jia was going to resell her for a thousand gold, she wished she could throw all the silver treasures in the dressing box in front of him.But in consideration of safety, she can't seek death, and the two of them need to spend all kinds of money to survive, so in order to be safe, they can only keep their money secret.

After crying, he took out a pair of emerald jade bracelets from the vanity box, and handed them to Ping An: "It is said that this pair of bracelets was bought for 200 taels of silver. Pawn it to death, one thousand silver is enough."

1000 taels of silver, Ping An suddenly felt that the jade bracelet was hot, and said with a bitter face, "Such a precious bracelet, is it safe for me to take it?"

Ping An is only 13 years old and wears simple clothes. If he sells such an expensive bracelet, what should he do if the store has malicious intentions or encounters bad people on the way?

"I heard that Jiabaoxiang Pawnshop is a time-honored brand. It has always done business without deceit, and the price is fair. You can go there and try it." After thinking about it again, he said: "Although cash is not easy to get, treasure banknotes are not as good as Now that the money is safe, it is better to rent a car, and let the pawn shop move the silver box to the car, and I will watch in the car, it will be safer for you and me to go together."

Ping An is not at ease, it is 1000 taels of silver, it is a small thing to lose the silver, and I am afraid that if I meet that money-grubbing person, it will rob her two little lives.They couldn't go to Li Jia for this matter, and they didn't know anyone, let alone a man.Without a man following her, I feel empty in my heart.

Seeing her worried, Shi Niang couldn't help laughing: "After all, it's at the feet of the emperor. In broad daylight, there are not many thieves who dare to rob it openly. It's just that there is an eventuality, and we will give up our money to keep safe."

"Shi Niang, the two of us will live well." Ping An is not an innocent girl, and knows how difficult it was for women in ancient times. There was no man in the family to support the family, and anything could happen.But she is not afraid, with Shi Niang around, she can't show her timidity, if she looks like she can't support her, Shi Niang will lose her backbone.

"When we get the household registration documents, we will buy a small courtyard and settle down. If we buy two people to look after the house, we will not be afraid." After all, Shi Niang is an ancient, and she has her own survival rules of the ancients, such as buying people as slaves. Ping An never thought of it.

Ping An didn't object, and Shi Niang's ability to plan for the future shows that she has seen what happened today, and she feels relieved.
