These years of being the queen mother!

Yang Lingyue was indignant, and her hands and feet did not lag behind. After tidying up the cave, she carried a hoe and dug densely packed holes on the only way between the ruined temple and the cave. Ming Da also clicked his tongue looking at it, fearing that she would be tired, he quickly grabbed the hoe and dug a pit as a trap under Yang Lingyue's instructions.

After a hard work, at sunset, the siblings finally covered all the traps they dug with withered grass and leaves, and returned to the cave with the colorful clouds.

Because the cave is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, although it is windproof, it is spacious enough for the two siblings to live inside. However, if you cook in the fire, the air will not be smooth, so the siblings had to set up a bonfire outside and use just Chopped and cut into knotted bamboo tubes, boiled and dried yam pieces.

Since then, the siblings have settled down in a cave in the mountains.When they usually went out to look for food, the siblings had encountered refugees who came out to look for food everywhere. Out of caution and precaution, the siblings did not fight with this group of refugees who had a hatred for their "family". They are in contact with each other, and when they meet, they always avoid them from a distance, and never meet them face to face. After a long time, the two groups of people also get along strangely and peacefully.

Yang Lingyue originally thought that the days would go by so hard and smoothly. Who would have thought that after surviving through the cold winter hard, the news would appear like a bolt from the blue...

Liaodong Economic Strategy Yang Gao attacked Hachi in four directions, and was defeated in the Battle of Sarhu. Kaiyuan and Tieling fell, and the capital Yanjing was shaken.The aged Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun adopted the suggestion of Xiong Tingbi, Minister of the Ministry of War, and planned to build a city in Liaodong to defend Jurchen.However, it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to build troops and build the city. Now there are Jurchen, Mongol and other tribes staring at them outside, and there are endless bandits and natural disasters inside.After the disaster, the refugees who appeared everywhere have not been solved yet, and there have been heavy corvees. Isn't this forcing the poor and powerless people to separate their wives and children.

Yang Lingyue thought that their siblings were only half-grown children, and the theory of corvee would never happen to them.Yang Lingyue never expected that she took good care of Yang Mingda for a whole year and raised him to be stronger and taller than his peers, which made him "on the list".Yang Mingda, who was only nine years old at the beginning of the year, actually wanted to follow the young and strong of Gengjia Village and prepare his own dry food to go to Liaodong to garrison troops and build a city.

As soon as this news came out, Yang Lingyue's whole body felt like being hit with an axe, and her heart ached.In this dynasty, in Liaodong, is there any chance for Yang Mingda to come back alive after he has gone?

Yang Lingyue covered her face violently, and burst into tears.Why, the two of them are not from Gengjia Village, why should they go to Liaodong to serve in corvee with the young and strong from Gengjia Village.Even the group of refugees who occupied the ruined temple... also...

Yang Lingyue's eyes widened suddenly, remembering that the fate of the refugees who were also on the corvee list, or the fate of those who wanted to escape the corvee was not very good. They are counted in the list of villagers in Gengjia Village who serve in corvee.Among the refugees, the young and strong, who were sneaking around all day long and not doing business, wanted to leave and return to their hometown after the news of the corvée. Who would have thought that the all-pervasive Jinyiwei Organization of the Ming Dynasty would catch them and use them to scare the chickens and monkeys. Warn the villagers who have the heart to escape the corvee.

Therefore, Yang Mingda, who was on the corvee list, must go to Liaodong.

Yang Lingyue closed her eyes, and when tears rolled down her cheeks, she suddenly hugged Yang Mingda, hugged him and cried again.Yang Mingda couldn't bear being cried by Yang Lingyue, so he could only comfort her repeatedly, saying that he did not go to Liaodong forever.

"Sister, don't be sad. The youngest of the Geng family is only ten years old this year, and he has to serve with his uncle." Above, Geng Goudan who was complained by Yang Lingyue that his name should be changed.Since at least one of the peasant households who are serious about digging food in the field has to produce one, the youngest of the Geng family, who is the only seedling in the family, and Geng Goudan, who has younger siblings at home, unfortunately won the bid, and Yang Mingda, who is also a refugee, won the bid. Similarly, he is about to set off with the large army to Liaodong to shine for the matter of stationing troops and building the city.

Of course, Yang Mingda's comfort did not make Yang Lingyue feel better, but made Yang Lingyue feel even more uncomfortable.What kind of world is this, that a child under the age of nine is actually sent to serve in corvee...

Yang Lingyue was afraid that Yang Mingda, the younger brother who had been with her since she transmigrated and had become her spiritual pillar, would disappear from her life.She wanted to take Yang Mingda to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to live an incognito life, but Yang Lingyue, who was afraid of death, did not dare to think of the fate of the group of refugees who also wanted to escape the corvee.In the end, after crying one after another, I could only watch with sobs as the team of ragged civilian husbands left their hometown numbly and headed for Liaodong under the "escort" of all kinds of high-spirited thousands and hundreds of households. .

After Yang Mingda left, Yang Lingyue moved into the empty thatched hut in Gengjia Village under the authority of the village.She seems to have been taken away by someone, her whole body is in a daze, she only knows how to work every day, collecting all kinds of food, hoarding or selling money, in this way, in the eyes of outsiders, her small life is actually easy It is more delicious than when living in a cave before.

Spring goes and autumn comes again, and it is another spring in a blink of an eye.Not long after Yang Mingda left, news came out that the strategy of stationing troops and building the city had played a certain role, and the situation had been greatly reversed.

Yang Lingyue didn't know the news, and the overjoyed court officials exaggerated a bit, but in general, it made Yang Lingyue's concern for her younger brother feel a little better, and she became more energetic, and began to have time to think about her future.

It is now the 48th year of Wanli, and soon, Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun, a more willful emperor, will face hiccups, and his successor will be Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo, who has the reputation of "January Emperor".It is said that when he succeeded to the throne, he divided up the harem and issued an edict to select ladies across the country. He died gloriously because of taking red pills with unknown ingredients, leaving historical doubts—and it is said that his successor, Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao's first concubine members were selected from here.

The concubine system of the Ming Dynasty was established by Zhu Yuanzhang in the early years of Hongwu. In order to prevent foreign relatives from intervening in politics, the concubine came from a good family from a small family.

Yang Lingyue counted with her fingers, now she is 13 years old.According to her now more outstanding appearance, if there is no accident, she should not lose the election, but in the end she will be a court lady or a concubine, and she seems to have to resign herself to living alone.

Speaking of which, Yang Lingyue didn't want to change her destiny through the draft, but now she was alone all her life, without anyone to rely on, and her appearance became more and more outstanding. Usually, she rarely appeared in front of people, and she also dressed in an ugly way, which attracted people. Some loafers with malicious intentions lingered at the door of the house, saying some obscenities to tease people.Yang Lingyue knows that there are old ladies in the village who say that she has not been selected for the show and can't get married, and she can suppress one or two. Suppression probably wouldn't stop those bums who wanted to take advantage of him from attacking him.After much deliberation, the only way for me to live alone now is to enter the palace through the draft.

I hope that I can be a court lady, stay in the huge Forbidden City for ten years, and then try to get out of the palace.When that time comes, maybe Yang Mingda will also come back alive from Liaodong. Even if he insists on being an old girl and never getting married, Yang Mingda will not object if he wants to come, and even support himself for the rest of his life.

Thinking of Yang Mingda who has not been heard from until now, Yang Lingyue's eyes turned red, and tears gushed out like broken pearls.Yang Lingyue bit her lip and wept silently for a while. She wiped away her tears when she had cried enough, and began to bury her head in front of the wooden loom, weaving cloth in an orderly manner.

Yang Lingyue thought that today was the same way and got away with it, but she didn't expect that she had just knit for a while, when a whistle came from outside the closed courtyard door, and the bums in the village gathered outside the courtyard door, molesting people there with obscene words .

Normally, Yang Lingyue would just ignore it, as if there were wild dogs barking, but today, perhaps because of the longing for Yang Mingda who was far away in Liaodong, Yang Lingyue could no longer suppress the negative emotions, Yang Lingyue narrowed her eyes, Picking up the hoe placed at the door, like a tigress about to devour people, he chopped at the bum outside the courtyard without saying a word.

These guys who don't do production and sneak around all day are the most bullying and fearful. Although Yang Lingyue is not wanted, he is also afraid that the hoe has no eyes, and Yang Lingyue will chop himself without thinking. When the sound came, the few bastards who wanted to take advantage of the words scattered away.
