[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

Xia Anran's top ambition ended in the gruel life on the third day.

He doesn't think he is a delicate person, but he has eaten plain porridge for three days. There are no side dishes, only plain porridge, the kind with more water and less rice.

The Xia family used up all their savings in order to treat his illness, and barely supported the family by doing laundry for others in winter, so naturally they had no money to buy supplements for him.

Congee oil is already the best thing this mother can give him.

But this is not enough, a light diet is indeed very important for a body recovering from a serious illness, but he also needs to take in other nutrients, Xia Anran can already feel the weakness he has felt these days.

It's a pity that he is still a child. In ancient times, he started to do things early, especially in his family of orphans and widows, but no matter how early he was, he couldn't do much at his age.

Xia Anran worked hard for a week to get the chance to get out of bed, and finally got permission to be wrapped into a ball and walk out of the room.

During this week, Xia Anran had already known about most of the family situation, Xia's relationship with her husband was obviously very good, sometimes seeing that Xia Anran couldn't sleep, she would tell him some stories about his father.

Xia Anran's father was a scholar, and he found a job in the yamen through his relationship. I see it.During the years when the Xia family kept their filial piety, the orphans and widows also depended on the care of the neighbors so that they were not harassed by second-rate sons.

Xia Zhang is the daughter of Xia's father Mengshi, she married Xia's father only fourteen years ago, and gave birth to a son the next year. That year, Xia's father was also selected as a scholar, so Xia Anran was very favored. It can be seen that what a father expects from his son is nothing more than the word safety.

But later, Xia's father failed many times in the test, so he was free and easy, so he simply gave up the test, found an opportunity to sneak into the yamen, and the monthly profit he got every month was not small, and Xia's good at female celebrities, this The small family also had a good time.

Whenever talking about these things, Xia's eyes always turn red. In her eyes, her husband is really a very, very good person.

She didn't want the son who lost his father early to forget his father's image, so she often told her son how much his father loved him when he was still alive.

If it was an ordinary child, I'm afraid he would have been impatient long ago, but Xia Anran is not a child after all.

He listened carefully to Mrs. Xia's nagging, and at the same time asked some small questions. For example, Mrs. Xia said that daddy would always bring you a bunch of candied haws when he left the office, so he would ask how much the candied haws cost. There are a few hawthorns inside, and over time, he has figured out the prices of this era.

Then he discovered that the problem was more serious than he imagined.

The Xia family simply cannot make ends meet.

The weather is about to get warmer, and Xia's laundry work has been reduced recently. She can still receive this amount now, mainly because her home has well water, and the customers see that she washes cleanly and carefully, so it is considered a care. gave her some.

Besides, Xia Anran does not support Xia's making money with this method, Xia's female celebrity is very good, as an embroiderer, once she has frostbite on her hands, it will definitely affect her gestures.

Does Xia Shi know?Of course she knew it, but she needed to support her family and there was no other way.

The strong mother seemed to see her son's uneasiness and worry, and patted his head, "My son, don't worry."

"Mom is fine."

"This sore will heal when the spring begins." She smiled softly, "When the spring begins, Mom will go to pick up some embroidery work. Life will always go on."

Xia Anran moved her lips, but couldn't say anything. He followed Xia's mother out for the next few days, walking the streets and alleys, trying to find business opportunities, but it was very difficult.

The commerce in Gusu City is quite developed. Even Xia Anran from the future couldn't help but look around with wide eyes when he went shopping for the first time, acting like a country boy entering the city.

Mother Xia brought him out today to sell the embroidered items that she had saved before. These items cannot be sold at a price now, but the Xia family needs the money now, so they ran out when the snow stopped.

The two walked into a cloth village. Xia Anran was waiting at the door, and there were all female relatives inside. He followed him in and looked at it, and after listening to a few words, he felt that it was too complicated, so he said something to Xia, came out and sat down. On the small steps at the door, he propped his chin and looked at the passers-by.

Looking at it, he found something wrong.

There was a woman holding a richly dressed child. The child seemed to be tired and was sleeping soundly on the woman's shoulder. The woman covered the child with a shawl and walked all the way, but she seemed to meet an acquaintance and stopped. Spoken a few words with a woman.

Xia Anran looked them up and down, stood up suddenly, he didn't have time to say anything to his mother, he took advantage of the time when the woman was caught and ran all the way, just a few minutes before the woman holding the child passed by , the patrolling yamen just passed by, he rushed straight in the direction he remembered, and found it!

Seeing the yamen servant dressed in the official government, he rushed towards him suddenly and bumped into the person. The person who was bumped turned around and saw a child with a frown. Before he could reprimand him, he heard the child say, "There is a kidnapper." !"

The child yelled loudly, his voice was treacherous and penetrating.The passers-by in the surrounding shops looked over one after another. Jiangnan women are delicate and charming, and Gusu women are even more outstanding among them. Therefore, there are many kidnappers in this place. They all steal other people's daughters and sell them to dirty places. , There are also some who have been sold to the north for a few years to be used as slaves. The local government has searched and searched, and what they find is never as good as what they lost.

Now the word "kidnapper" was called out by a child again, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing this, the yamen servant hurriedly asked, "My child, where is the kidnapper? Don't talk nonsense!"

"It's not nonsense!" Xia Anran put on an upright look, her little face flushed with anger, "I saw it! A female kidnapper, hugging a young master!"

Young Master!

The yamen servants glanced at each other and exchanged glances, another yamen servant who looked older walked over to Xia Anran and said, "Children, do you still remember where they went?"

Xia Anran nodded, took a few deep breaths, tried to catch her breath, and pointed out the direction, "The female abductee is wearing a taupe-colored jacket and gray-blue trousers. At the age of [-], it should be a boy, sleeping on the shoulder of the kidnapper, the boy is wearing blue clothes and a red cape, very conspicuous."

Seeing that he spoke clearly and didn't seem to be cheating, a few yamen servants ran over in the direction he pointed. Xia Anran's description was obvious, and the boy was really conspicuous in the red cloak. When Xia Anran rushed over, The woman has been subdued and is rolling on the ground by the yamen servants. After all, there is a difference between men and women, and the yamen servants are not good at pressing her tightly, so she finds an opportunity to fight and roll on the ground, throwing up "I am wronged, this is ours." My young master, I am the young master's wet nurse. Today, I took the young master along with the mistress on the way back to her mother's house. The mistress is kind and brought us to see the excitement of Gusu City. The mistress got separated, and she is holding the young master to find someone in the same way! My host is the Song family in Jinling, and the convoy is just outside the city. If you don’t believe me, you can follow me outside the city to see if our convoy is there. That!"

The woman's appearance really didn't look like a lie, there was cause and effect back and forth, and the onlookers, who were originally filled with righteous indignation, also showed hesitation. Seeing this, the woman hurriedly said, "The mistress found out that we were missing, and she will definitely go out of the city to talk to you." The convoy is converging, and I must be burning with anxiety now, if you don’t believe me, just walk with me and you will know the truth.”

Now, even the officials hesitated a little.

It takes three cups of tea to walk from outside Gusu City. It’s winter, and the road is really not easy to walk. Seeing them seem to be a little shaken, the woman added, "Master Guan, really, the convoy is on the Sanli Slope outside the city." ,"

Sanlipo, as the name suggests, is a small slope three miles away from the gate of Gusu City. There is a small pavilion there, called the Farewell Pavilion, which means that you will have to say goodbye after a thousand miles, and you can go back here.

Now, I have to walk three miles out of the city gate...

"You are lying!" Just when everyone was hesitating, a child's voice sounded, Xia Anran came out from the crowd, pointed at the kidnapper and said, "You are lying! You are not the boy's nurse, and your wife is not here." On Sanlipo!"

"Oh? Kid, what do you say?" The leader of the yamen servant, who had not expressed his opinion, raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw him running out.

"Back to the lord." Xia Anran didn't know how to address the yamen servant, so he simply called the lord, and asked someone to call it higher, there was nothing wrong with it. "I just saw that this child is wearing elegant clothes and accessories. There is only one violation, which is the red cloak."

He pointed to the red cloak that was still draped over the little boy's shoulders, "My mother is good at embroidery, so I know some fur. Please look, my lord, this cloak looks expensive, but it is actually inferior satin, and the fringe on the side is just Rabbit fur, because it is all new, so it looks bright, but it is not worth a lot of money. Another point, the length of this cloak is a little longer, and it has reached the sole of the young master's shoes, so I judge that this cloak is not a boy It’s the woman who brought it, and the woman just said that she passed through Gusu City with the mistress who was visiting her relatives, so how could she come out with a cloak that is not the young master’s?”

"Secondly, if she said that she brought the young master to Gusu City to watch the fun with the mistress, then how could the motorcade stop at Sanlipo and let a group of female relatives walk for three miles in the snow? Entering Gusu City? Even if she really walked three miles, the snow in the city was swept away, but not outside the city. Gusu had snowed for several days a few days ago, and the snow outside the city must be deep, but her shoes are not at all. wet."

Everyone looked over and found that the cloth shoes worn by the woman did not have wet marks. Seeing that everyone's eyes shifted to her shoes, the woman hurriedly said, "Listen to me, my lord, the shoes are for me because it is really inconvenient for me to walk, and I see that these shoes look good. I just bought it in this city..."

"If you said you just bought it," Xia Anran smiled slowly when she heard the words, "then do you still remember which store it is from? This is the city, and you can find out if you ask someone."

"I, I don't remember." The woman obviously knew that she had made a mistake in her busy schedule. The mistake was simply incomprehensible, and she was also extremely smart, so she simply cried, "Guy, Guan, our family's motorcade is indeed outside Sanlipo. The official will know as soon as I go! I dare not lie to the official."

Seeing her convincing words, Xia Anran turned his eyes and knew why she was so confident. His expression became serious, and he turned around and saluted the yamen servant, "My lord, there must be a convoy outside Sanlipo."

"Oh...?" The yamen servant who was watched by him raised his eyebrows, looking quite interested, "Child, what do you mean, there is really a mistress outside Sanlipo?"

"I'm afraid it's the mistress." Xia Anran is half-assured, "Outside Sanlipo, it may be the woman's accomplice. My lord, send someone to search for it. It is very likely that there are abducted children in the convoy," he said. Glancing at the sleepy child who was making such a big commotion, he frowned, "Besides, this woman has been urging us to go out of the city, probably because she was afraid that we would see something was wrong. Wake up...My lord, let's find a doctor, the young master may be overwhelmed by the medicine."

"Heh, you're really smart." The chief yamen servant smiled and waved his hands, "I've already sent people to Sanlipo outside the city to look for someone, and I've also sent people to look for the doctor."

He looked at the panic-stricken woman, and said slowly, "Lang Zhong, I'll be there soon."

Just as he said, Langzhong was hurriedly rushed to by the yamen guards after a while, and when he saw the young master, he exclaimed, "Master Lin?"

The doctor actually recognized the child.

The woman collapsed to the ground upon hearing the sound.

The author has something to say: The author can't take it anymore!I'm going to say it now!In the red building, there are those who are called mothers (Xue Baochai and Xue Pan) and those who are called wives (Jia Baoyu and others are called Youpinjie’s mothers) and there are also those who are called mothers (by slaves). , There used to be mothers, of course there were mothers, but it's not like there were no mothers!

The name of this article is based on the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions", don't tell me that it's a good show to see my mother!Whether it's the original book or the 87 film and television version, there are people calling mothers, but there are basically no calling mothers!

In the red building, really, there are a lot of kidnappers.

In fact, because of the hobbies of the upper class in the Qing Dynasty, it was a very lucrative business for girls from the south to be sold to the north.Many so-called "Yangzhou skinny horses" are actually sold by their parents, and most of them are kidnapped by kidnappers. Mothers choose good-looking children and raise them since childhood.

Hmm... And people who know how to do this kind of business are much more courageous than normal people imagine.

If the yamen servants really followed Ren Yazi to three miles away, what they would see would be a normal convoy with guides, coachmen, butlers, mistresses, slaves, and young masters.

Most people will let it go if there is no accident when they see this situation, it is really scary.

The same is true in modern times. Many seemingly normal situations may actually be kidnappers.

Hmm... If you see crying children and adults with indifferent expressions on the high-speed rail, go to the marshals. This kind of person is likely to be a kidnapper... or irresponsible parents, but it's very easy to go to the marshals. Maybe a family can be saved. Even if they make a mistake, it is the Xiong’s parents who made the mistake first. They let their children cry when they are taken to a public place, and it is normal to suspect that it is not in person.

But now the marshals are very experienced, and most of them will cooperate with the marshals on the platform to ask questions when the car stops.

If you have a baby, be sure, don't let him out of your sight. If you go out to play, you must determine who will come to see the child at this moment, and you must be certain of one person.The easiest time to lose a child is when the family is out and about, because everyone assumes that someone else will take care of the child.In the end, no one is watching the kids.

Ps, Gong appeared, but I don't think you will guess it. (with a treacherous smile
