There is no phoenix

In less than half a day, Yingchun, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, had already planned all kinds of possibilities after leaving the Sun's house.

At noon and in the evening, Yingchun’s meals are served in the house with embroidered oranges.Xiuju also told Yingchun that Aunt Zhang had taken her to see the firewood house that had been packed, and said that Sun Shaozu ordered Yingchun to vacate the house tomorrow morning.

After hearing this, Yingchun was not angry at all, but calmly said: "Okay, Xiuju, go tell Aunt Zhang that we will move some things to the woodshed tonight, and I can vacate this room tomorrow morning."

Looking at the women and girls who brought him to help him move things, when the move was approaching Haishi, Yingchun called these women and girls and said: "You are the ones who came with me, I will not be here from tomorrow. Mistress. You married me here, and you are loyal to me. I thank you. It’s a pity that I am a down-and-out master. You can live well in the future, no matter who you are with, I will not blame you again, because I myself I can't protect it!"

After Yingchun finished speaking, she asked Xiuju to give ten taels of silver to each of the three maids and four women, and said: "Our relationship between master and servant is up to now. From tomorrow onwards, I will have the same status as you. Even if I repay you for your loyalty to me over the past few years. It’s so late, you go to rest, I’m tired too.”

Seeing that Yingchun was so generous to him, everyone was surprised and grateful, and they were too busy to pay their respects to Yingchun.Seeing everyone leave, the master and servant of Yingchun closed the door, and slowly figured out the affairs of leaving the mansion.

Yingchun said: "Xiuju, in addition to our jewelry and the whole bank note of 500 taels, how much broken silver is there?"

Xiuju said: "There are two 100 taels of silver bills, more than 5000 taels of silver change. Girl, Lian's second grandma said that these jewelry can be worth at least [-] taels."

Yingchun said: "Xiuju, let's sew [-] silver bills on the clothes now, and each person takes half of the jewelry. You take the other silver coins and loose silver coins, so that we can use them on the road."

So the master and the servant took out needles and threads, and quickly sewed up the banknotes.

Xiuju has never seen Yingchun act so calmly, plan such a bold thing so calmly, and secretly admire Yingchun's courage and planning at this time.

Seeing that the preparations are almost ready, Yingchun said to Xiuju: "Xiuju, don't call me a girl from now on, you are one year younger than me, you can call me sister from now on, and we will be sisters from now on. You help me dress up like you, I think we should leave after a while. If we are found out, tomorrow is probably our memorial day, but I want to take a gamble! I just hope that God will not disappoint the two of us like this Helpless people!"

Xiuju nodded, so the master and servant both changed their clothes for going out, and Xiuju tied Yingchun's hair into the same style as her own.

Half an hour later, the master and the servant quietly took their burdens and walked towards the backyard.There were not many Sun family members, but it was mid-April at this time, the moonlight was bright, and the insects singing in early summer covered the gentle footsteps of Yingchun's master and servant, and the two of them quickly left the side door.

Xiuju had come out many times, so she was more familiar with the road. The two of them walked for half an hour, but happened to meet a carriage returning at night.Seeing that the driver was an old man, Xiu Ju hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master, because a relative is seriously ill, we two sisters are going to the East Gate Ferry to catch the morning boat tomorrow, please take us along!"

The old man was also kind-hearted, seeing that it was the home of two girls, he had no choice but to say: "Girl, it's too late, but look at your girl's house, you give six taels of silver, and I will take you there."

Yingchun hurriedly said: "Thank you, sir, we came from the countryside and traveled for a day, so I have to trouble you!"

Yingchun and Xiuju got into the car and breathed a sigh of relief.After traveling for more than an hour, the old man said that he had already arrived, and he kindly said to Yingchun Xiuju: "Girl, it is impossible to have a boat at this late hour. In my opinion, there are many boats leaving early in the morning at the East Gate Ferry. Why don't you two go?" Find an inn here to stay for one night before leaving."

Xiuju asked: "Master, we are not familiar with here, can we go to the inn now?"

The old man said: "This ferry also has a lot of boats coming here at night, so there are many inns here, because there may still be guests no matter how late at night. Girl, look, those with lanterns are all inns, just knock on the door, People can stay anytime.”

Yingchun listened, thanked the old man, and went to an open inn with Xiuju.Because the weather was warm, the shopkeeper was about to close the door when he saw two girls, so he warmly invited them in.

Because Yingchun had just had a miscarriage, she didn't feel much when she left Sun's house just now, but now when she arrived at the inn, her bones seemed to be falling apart.He Xiuju hurriedly washed and lay down, and soon fell asleep.

When Dongfang was still white, Dongmen Ferry had already started to be lively.Although tired, Yingchun and Xiuju woke up early and got up to tidy up.Before leaving the capital, Xiuju was still very nervous when thinking of Sun Shaozu's brutality.Because once Sun Shaozu knew or found himself and Yingchun, he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Yingchun looked calm.Get up and open the window, by the dim morning light, see many guests have rushed to the pier, busy and Xiuju hurriedly packed up their luggage, left the inn, and walked to the ferry.

When Yingchun and Xiuju came to the ferry, they saw that a small boat had already set sail, and it seemed that it would set sail soon, so they went forward to inquire, but the owner of the boat said that they were only going to Dezhou.Yingchun hurriedly asked how far it was to Dezhou, and the boatman said it would take four days.

Yingchun thought for a while, and whispered to Xiuju: "Xiuju, let's leave here first, no matter where we go, it's better than staying here, if Sun Shaozu finds us, the two of us will die. Let's go to Dezhou first, Once there, plan the next step.”

Xiuju nodded, and told the boatman that he was going to Dezhou. Seeing that they were two girls, the boatman naturally agreed.Yingchun Xiuju boarded the boat and entered the cabin. Seeing that the boat was slowly setting sail, she thought that Sun Shaozu knew that he had escaped now, and it would be impossible to chase after him, so he let go of his hanging heart.

The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump.This is the best portrayal of Yingchun and Xiuju at this time.The two of them didn't sleep well all night, especially Yingchun, who was originally weak and had just had a miscarriage, and now his sleepy heart finally let go, so the two of them fell asleep soon after entering the cabin.

But at this time, in the Sun family, Sun Shaozu got up early because he was going to be on duty, practiced his swords and guns in the yard, remembered that Yingchun should go to the woodshed today, so he couldn't help coming to Yingchun's house, and saw that the house was quiet and the door was closed , and don't care.

Sun Shaozu was about to leave, thinking that Yingchun dared to respond to him yesterday, and became annoyed again.Because since getting married, although I lost my temper with Yingchun countless times, Yingchun has always endured it silently and never dared to argue with herself, but yesterday was an exception.

Sun Shaozu thought of this, so he pushed the door and found that the door was ajar.Can't help but be surprised, went in, saw no one in the room, couldn't help being shocked, hurriedly turned around to check the firewood house prepared for Yingchun in the backyard, saw that there was no one there, was even more shocked, hurriedly called those women and girls .

Aunt Zhang and Sun Shaozu went back to Yingchun's house and checked the contents carefully. Seeing that the jewelry, money and embroidered oranges were missing, they guessed that Yingchun must have left.

Aunt Zhang saw that the veins on Sun Shaozu's forehead were bursting out of anger, and hurriedly said, "Master, she must have escaped and took all the valuable things with her! She should have prepared for this long ago!"

When Sun Shaozu heard this, he was furious and wanted to go to Jia's mansion to find someone.Aunt Zhang hurriedly persuaded: "Master, it's okay for her to leave, but she shouldn't take away all the valuables. In my opinion, she shouldn't escape back to Jia's mansion like this. If she wants to go back, she definitely won't." will sneak away at night."

Sun Shaozu said: "She hasn't been out before, where would she go if she didn't go to Jia's mansion? Is it possible to forget it like this? I can't swallow this bad breath! Her father is like this, and she is also like this. We can't just let it go like this !"

Aunt Zhang said: "Then what else can I do? You just go to Jia's mansion to make trouble. If she doesn't go back, the people of Rongguo Mansion will ask you for someone instead. What should you do? Besides, what's the good of the trouble?"

Sun Shaozu sat down angrily and said, "Then what do you say?"

Aunt Zhang said: "Master, let's just say that after she had a miscarriage, she couldn't think about it and didn't know where to hide. I advise you not to go to Jia's mansion to find someone, but to send a woman who came from Jia's mansion. Does she have any?" When we go back to Jia's mansion, we will naturally get back to us soon. Master, just do your job well, don't let her fool you, Aunt Xie and I still count on you."

After hearing this, Sun Shaozu couldn't think of any other way, so he had to say: "In this case, you help me take care of this matter. If you can do this well, you will be the main wife in the future! With you and Aunt Xie, I will also Don't marry anyone else."

Aunt Zhang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry about it, sir. I am justified when someone comes from Jia's house. We can say that she, as the mistress, took away so much money from our Sun family. If we know that she is hiding in her mother's house , we won’t let it go like this!”

Sun Shaozu heard it, and it was exactly what he wanted, so he went to the Yamen on time to do business.

It was a very restless day in Jia's mansion on April [-]th.

Mrs. Xing was not in good health a few days ago, so she didn't go to Jiamu's place to pay her respects for several days, so after breakfast, she took a girl to Jiamu's place, and asked Jia Amnesty's concubine, Yanhong, to feed the birds in the corridor.Yan Hong agreed, and took a little girl to feed the birds and water the flowers and trees in the yard.

After feeding the birds and watering the flowers and trees, Yan Hong took out the kite, went to the grass in the backyard, and sat there to fly the kite.

Having been in Jia's mansion for so long, Yan Hong has never seen her family members again, and she rarely smiles.It seems that only the kite can make me feel relieved for a moment, and it is also the only sustenance for me to care about and feel relieved after arriving in Jia's mansion.

At the age of 20, Yan Hong feels that her youthful years are like this kite, which can fly high into the sky, but is always held by a thread.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the kite was rolled into a tree, and then the thread broke, half hanging on the treetop as high as a person.Yan Hong hurriedly ran over, but couldn't reach it, so she could only look at the kite shaking in the air in a daze.

At this time, I saw the servant Zui'er was fetching water and watering the flowers, and seeing Yan Hong anxiously facing the kite, she hurried over and said, "Miss Yan Hong, I'll bring the stool, I can help you take down the kite!"

Yan Hong looked around and saw that there was no one, she nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll fetch the stool!"

The boy knew Yan Hong's fear, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he just stood there and waited.

After a while, Yanhong really brought a long bench and put it under the tree.Zui'er stood up, but it was still a little short, looked down at Yan Hong full of expectation, hurriedly stood on tiptoe and reached out to grab the kite hanging on the treetop.Unexpectedly, after getting the kite, Zui'er lost weight and fell off the stool.

Yan Hong looked anxious, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to support Zui'er, but Zui'er still fell heavily on the ground.Yan Hong hurriedly approached to help Zui'er up, Zui'er reluctantly climbed up, handed the kite in her hand to Yan Hong, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Miss Yan Hong, the kite didn't break!"

Seeing the blood on Zui'er's forehead, Yan Hong hurriedly took out her handkerchief and handed it to Zui'er, "Thank you, Zui'er!"

Zui'er was hesitating whether to reach out to pick it up, but a stern voice said: "Okay, I'm a concubine, you can be drunk without wine!"

Zui'er and Yanhong were immediately scared out of their wits.

At this time Zui'er saw Jia Shege standing at the gate of the courtyard with a gloomy face, she was so frightened that she hurriedly crawled over and knelt down and said, "Master, don't get me wrong, it's the slave who saw Miss Yanhong's kite hanging on the tree and saw that Miss Yanhong was anxious." The one who helped to fetch the kite, please forgive me! This slave will never dare to approach Miss Yanhong again, please forgive me this time!"

Jia She sneered and said, "My eyes are not blind! Zui'er, I never thought that you would have such courage, okay! Someone, drag Zui'er down, beat him with forty slaps, and kick him out!"

After hearing this, Zui'er hurriedly knelt down and begged: "My lord, please be merciful. Everything this slave said is the truth. I will never dare to do it again! I beg my lord to let this slave go!"

Zui'er kowtowed and kowtowed until blood flowed from his head, but Jia Amnesty didn't show any intention of forgiving, instead he still angrily ordered the two servants behind him: "One of the forty big boards must not be missing, if I know you will be merciful." , you also hit forty big boards, beat him and drag him out!"

Seeing Jia Amnesty like this, Zui'er didn't beg any more, just collapsed on the ground in despair, and numbly let the two young men drag her down.

At this moment, Yan Hong was so frightened that her feet trembled and she couldn't say a word.I saw Jia She stepped forward, grabbed Yan Hong's hair, pulled her into the courtyard, entered Yan Hong's room, pushed Yan Hong onto the bed, and sneered, "I never thought you could be so profane during the day! I'll come to your room, I haven't seen any warmth from you, so you think I'm old. I want to see how hot you are today! "

Yan Hong just shed tears and shook her head, "Master, I didn't do anything! I really didn't!"

At this time, Jia She's eyes were bloodshot, and he said viciously: "I bought you for 500 taels of silver. I never thought that you would dare to steal one after another without telling me! I'll let you see today, is it me? Those wild boys are amazing!"

Yan Hong retreated to the corner of the wall shivering, Jia Sheti pulled Yan Hong over like a chick, tore Yan Hong's clothes to pieces, gnawed and bit Yan Hong with her mouth, and after a while, Yan Hong's body was suddenly black and blue. Purple red, and some places were bitten and bleeding.Yan Hong was crying, Jia She was grinning, the two maids and a few servants in the yard couldn't help trembling.

I don't know how long it took, Yanhong curled up in the corner of the bed, covered in wounds.Jia She looked at Yan Hong and sneered, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to step out of this room. As soon as I come in, you take off your clothes first. If I come in and you still have clothes on, then how will you wait for me to clean you up?" I have the money to waste a set of clothes every day! If you are not afraid of death, just don’t listen! Be careful, I will send you to the kiln without a single thread!”

After Jia She finished speaking, he looked at Yan Hong who was still shaking, and walked out with a sneer.

After Jia Amnesty left, Yan Hong got up tremblingly, found some clothes to put on, and lay down on the bed exhausted.In this world, the only one who still cares about her is her own mother.I've been here for so long, and I don't know what happened to my mother.What happened to me now was agreed with by my father.Are you going to survive this day?

At lunch time, a little girl opened the door and came in with food, put it on the small table and said to Yanhong: "Miss Yanhong, this is what the old man asked me to give you, eat it quickly, I will clean it up later .”

Yan Hong hurriedly asked softly: "Where is the master now?"

The girl said: "Master has gone to Cuier's house to rest."

Yan Hong said: "Then you don't have to leave, I'll eat now, you can clean up after eating."

The girl listened, and hurriedly stood aside and waited.

After a while, Yan Hong finished eating, asked the girl to clean up, and said that she wanted to go to the toilet and come back soon.The girl saw that Yan Hong was really pitiful, so she told Yan Hong to come back quickly, and she would wait here for a while.

Yanhong walked out of the yard, looked around in a daze, and went straight to the Grand View Garden.Just about to enter the garden, I met the mandarin duck next to Jia Mu coming out of it.Seeing that there seemed to be scars on Yanhong's face, Yuanyang hurriedly asked, "Miss Yanhong, why are you alone? Where are you going?"

Yan Hong said: "They all say that the Grand View Garden is beautiful. I have been here for so long, and I haven't visited it yet. I want to go now. They are all taking a nap now, so I will go shopping alone and then come back."

Yuanyang said: "Miss Yanhong, there are a lot fewer people in the garden now, you should not wander around for too long, lest people from your side look for you!"

Yanhong said: "Yuanyang, I heard that you and Zijuan are very close, I want you to help me tell Miss Zijuan, if she can see my mother when she goes back, let her tell my mother, tell my mother not to miss me, Just say I'm fine here."

After hearing this, Yuanyang asked in surprise, "Yanhong, you still don't know? Your mother left the day after you came in."

Yan Hong was shocked when she heard this: "What? Yuanyang, you mean my mother is dead?"

Seeing that Yan Hong was so surprised, Yuanyang thought she must not know, so she had to tell her that her mother had already hanged herself.

When Yan Hong heard this, she seemed numb from shock, and murmured: "It seems that my mother is already waiting for me!"

Yuanyang was shocked and said, "Yanhong, don't be like this, your mother is gone, you have to live well!"

Yanhong looked at Yuanyang and said: "Yuanyang, I don't have the ambition like you. My mother left, but I always thought she was still alive. But Yuanyang, do you know? My life is probably worse than a ghost. Not afraid of being a ghost, at least I can get together with my mother!"

After Yan Hong finished speaking, she rolled up the sleeves on her hands, Yuanyang was shocked: Yan Hong's hands were all blue and purple, and none of them was intact.

Yanhong raised her head and looked at Qiongkong blankly, and said to herself: "It's fine for me, but I also hurt others. Zui'er kindly helped me pick up the kite, fell down, and was beaten with forty boards and kicked out. After going out, I don’t know whether I am dead or alive now. I live half my life, and I want to hurt innocent people. I am afraid that I will go to the [-]th floor of hell if I become a ghost!”

After Yan Hong finished speaking, she turned around and walked slowly towards the Grand View Garden.

Seeing Yanhong's despair, Yuanyang stepped forward and persuaded: "Miss Yanhong, don't let it go. Remember, no matter what happens to the old man, he is already over 50 years old, and he will only die before you. You have to be careful." Alive, a person like him who commits crimes will not last long!"

Yanhong looked back at Yuanyang, and said with a sad smile: "Yuanyang, you are right, I also believe that there will be such a day! But, I don't think I can see these. Thank you for persuading me, I will go in and have a look Come out!"

Seeing Yanhong enter the garden, Yuanyang stood for a long time before turning back to Jiamu.

At dusk, I saw Ping'er brought a few girls over and asked: "The eldest lady asked me to look around, but Miss Yanhong suddenly disappeared, I asked several gatekeepers, and they all said that I didn't see Yanhong go out!"

Mother Jia hurriedly asked: "Why did the good girl disappear? I'm afraid she was wandering in the garden? No one followed her when she went out?"

Ping'er hurriedly said: "Old lady, I don't know how Miss Yan Hong has offended the Elder Master today. The Elder Master asked her to stay in the room and not allow her to come out. After lunch, she said she was going to go to the latrine, and never came back again. Elder Master Master is also looking for someone."

After hearing this, Yuanyang hurriedly said, "I seem to have seen her go to the garden in the afternoon, why don't you go look there!"

After hearing this, Ping'er had no choice but to take the girl to the Grand View Garden.

In the evening, Mother Jia asked Amber to inquire at Jia Amnesty's place, asking if she had found anyone.Hu Po went there for a while, then came back and said that no one was found there, and that Jia Amnesty had sent people to Yan Hong's house to inquire.

After Yuanyang heard this, she felt a faint ominous feeling in her heart: Yanhong's wounds, Yanhong's tears, and Yanhong's words all revealed sadness, helplessness and despair, she must still be in the Grand View Garden!

So, why can't Yanhong be found?And read below!
