History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Early the next morning, An Minning went to Nanny Wu and told her that she wanted to take a day off.

This was the first time she asked for leave since she came to this Zhuangzi.

To be honest, An Minning was a little afraid of Nanny Wu, facing the title of Nanny, she would always think of that Nanny Rong who tortured Ziwei.

old and scary.

Nanny Wu looked at her for a long time, which made An Minning uneasy, but finally agreed, but Cuiyu who was beside Nanny Wu gave An Minning a hard look, obviously knowing that she was moving Cuibi's position.

An Minning could feel the turbulence behind Cuibi and Cuiyu. Before, she only knew that the two of them were at odds, but this time it seemed that she had torn her face. Fortunately, she was ready to stay away from these right and wrong, and the two were fighting fiercely. It doesn't affect her.

Sister-in-law Wang is a cook in the kitchen. Her family belongs to the village. She is only responsible for two meals on weekdays before she can go home. Occasionally, she can bring some leftover meals from the kitchen back to feed the children. The other women in the village were very envious.

It is not easy to fill the stomach in this era, not to mention that the children of Mrs. Wang's family are already half-grown, and it is time to eat me to death.

In the first half of this year, before An Minning came, a daughter of her family married to the capital.Yesterday, a letter was sent saying that her daughter was pregnant, so Mrs. Wang packed up and planned to ask for leave to have a look.

An Minning also knew about this, but she didn't expect that she would come today to trouble Mrs. Wang to take her to the capital.

When we arrived at Sister-in-law Wang's house, Sister-in-law Wang had already prepared things. Her family was moving some half-bags of vegetables with dirt on them to the bullock cart, and Sister-in-law Wang was holding a half-basket of eggs to direct.

Knowing An Minning's intention to come, Mrs. Wang readily agreed, but there was only one thing, she hoped that An Minning would not go too far when she came to Beijing.

An Minning hadn't thought of going to Beijing at this time. The not-so-good memories of the last time in the capital still lingered in her heart. Facing the imperial city in a short time, she still felt a little apprehensive.If Cuibi hadn't forcefully ordered her to come out, she might still be nesting in Zhuangzi.

The ox carts were not running fast, and they didn't arrive in Beijing until noon, and they were allowed to enter the city after paying the entrance fee at the city gate.

Sister-in-law Wang's daughter lived in the courtyard not far from the city gate. After the car stopped, An Minning watched the shuttlecock kicking and jumping rope at the entrance of the yard, and the children sitting at the entrance of the yard eating with bowls.

My heart was in a trance, and I always felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar.

Before Sister-in-Law Wang got out of the car, her eldest son jumped off first and quickly ran into a certain gate. Not long after, a black-faced man came out with him.Seeing Mrs. Wang, the black-faced man cried out in surprise, "Mother-in-law, why are you here today?"

"Look at what you said, Fang'er is pregnant, and I, a mother, are not allowed to come and take a look." Sister-in-law Wang rolled her eyes at her son-in-law, then turned and said to An Minning kindly, "Cuihua, why don't you go to see me?" Sitting at Sister Fang's house, I'll go shopping with you on the street later?"

An Minning was naturally embarrassed to disturb the family reunion, got out of the car and quickly refused, "No need for Mrs. Wang, I have to help sister Cuibi go to the embroidery shop to buy some needles and thread, and I will come back to you when I am done."

Sister-in-law Wang was just so polite, her mind was on her newly pregnant daughter, when she heard what An Minning said, she stopped forcing her, and said, "Then you go, we should go back to Zhuangzi around Shen Shi , it's too late."

An Minning responded, turned around and walked out of the yard.

In fact, An Minning didn't know where he could go, it was just an excuse to prevaricate Mrs. Wang.Ordinarily, it was very dangerous for her to go to the city alone as a girl, but Sister-in-law Wang never thought about it. Minning and Sister-in-law Wang were not close, so they naturally wouldn't worry about her safety.

However, An Minning was extra careful, and went out of the large courtyard, specifically to pick up places with a lot of people, and didn't go too far, and only walked around the city gate.

Listening to those long shouts on the street, An Minning felt very cordial. The strange thing is that she was from the south in her previous life, and she also studied in the south. How could she feel affection for these people?

Could it be that the original body was originally from the capital?

If this is the case, then it was a coincidence that he was abducted to the south of the Yangtze River and made such a big circle, but he did not expect to come back in the end.

An Minning began to search for the poor memories of the original body. Except for some accounting knowledge learned in Yangzhou, most of the memories before being abducted were not remembered.

At most, I remember that my family lived in a crooked alley, and there was a temple in the alley.

This point is quite in line with the alley culture in the capital, but I don’t know how many alleys there are in the capital, and I don’t know how many people have temples. How can I find out my original home?

What's more, even if it is found, it is still a matter of whether it has moved.

However, she finally got some clues, which cheered her up. It was great news for her to have a home in this world.

On the way back, Sister-in-Law Wang looked very happy. After An Minning asked, she found out that Sister-in-Law Wang's son-in-law had found an errand for her eldest son, so that he would no longer have to plan food in the soil. thing.

Back at Zhuangzi, it was still dark, An Minning bid farewell to Mrs. Wang, and rushed to Zhuangzi. Before reaching the gate, she saw a long motorcade.

She didn't dare to go through the main entrance, but turned to the back door to enter.

As soon as she went back, she was stopped by someone, saying that Madam Wu had assigned her work to other people, and she returned to the kitchen temporarily.

In other words, after going around for two months, she returned to the kitchen.

But this time she is not being a fire girl, but helping the cooks.

I thought that was it, but the next day, An Minning found out that most of the stoves in the kitchen had been taken over by the cooks brought by the owner of Zhuangzi, and the cook could only rely on the few stoves to cook.Now time was running out, and An Minning was surrounded by the commander, not only did he not care about tracing his original background, even Cui Bi, who was in the same room, went out early and returned late.

The owner of the Zhuangzi stayed in the Zhuangzi for a total of four days. She was relieved when a large group of people cheered and left. Finally, she could rest.

This night, before An Min and Ning Cuibi came back, she fell asleep early.

An Minning vaguely felt that she had fallen into a dream, her consciousness was very clear, she knew she was dreaming, but she just couldn't wake up.In the dream, she looked only four or five years old, with a little braid on the top of her head, ran out of the gate and appeared in a small alley, chasing a little boy vaguely, she fell to the ground and cried, "Brother, brother, Wait for me……"

The little boy turned back again. Although An Minning couldn't see the boy's face clearly, she knew his helplessness. In her dream, she was lifted up and tightly grabbed the boy's clothes.

The little boy was a little impatient, "Minning, you are a pest, you are a girl, I am a boy, we are not from the same country, we can't get along, you should hurry home and stop following me."

At this time, a boy's voice came from the front, "Minxing, come here quickly, the dogs are waiting at Banruo Temple, we are the only ones left!"

The little boy became anxious when he heard it, and hurriedly responded, "Hey, here we come!" Then he broke free from her hand and told her, "Don't follow me any more, go home quickly!"

After speaking, he ran directly towards the entrance of the alley.

In the dream, she saw her brother leaving her and ran away, feeling very wronged, standing where she was and crying loudly.

And at this moment, a wretched man ran over, covered her mouth and took her away!

"Ho!" An Minning woke up and sat up, panting heavily, covering her face, the last obscene face was still in her mind.

An Minning suddenly burst into tears. This was the scene when the original body was abducted, and the picture of Huazi's appearance was always deeply etched in her mind.

Make her remember who ruined her.

At this time, Yuanshen left this last memory to An Minning, obviously because he also wanted to find a home.

An Minning cried for a long time, and when she stopped, she felt a burst of relief. From this moment on, the original body's emotions had been released, and it could no longer affect her. This body belonged to her.

An Minning swore in her heart that she would definitely help Yuanshen find her relatives, no, it was her relatives, relatives belonging to the Qing Dynasty, so that fate would return to the original line.

There was the sound of a cock crowing outside. It should be three o'clock at night, and it was not long before she started working in the kitchen. She got up and put on her clothes, and waited for the fire to blow on and light the oil lamp.

The front curtain on Cuibi's bed was not lowered, and she realized that Cuibi never came back last night.

It seemed that she hadn't seen Cuibi since Zhuangzi's master left.

An Minning's heart sank, if Cuibi got what she wanted, it's impossible for her not to have heard from the people in the village.

After finishing his busy work this morning, An Minning began to ask the people in the Zhuangzi about Cuibi's whereabouts, but he kept everything secret and never mentioned it, as if there had never been such a person in the Zhuangzi.

Immediately afterwards, she was warned not to inquire about this matter again, otherwise she would have no good fruit to eat.

And since then she has never seen Cuibi again.

Zhuangzi returned to normal within a few days, as if Cuibi had never appeared before. This incident hit An Minning deeply. She originally thought that Zhuangzi was a different kind of paradise, but she still couldn't escape the fight.

As a servant girl, even if Cui Bi reached the level of a court lady, she was still in danger. Outsiders dared not even mention her disappearance.

An Minning never cared about her status as a servant before, she always regarded this status as a job.It wasn't until this time that she woke up. It turned out that the servant girl was not as good as she thought. This identity was like a seal, reminding her that she had no human rights, no freedom, and was not even as good as ordinary people outside. It belonged to the master's property, and the master wanted to sell it. Just sell it, and give it away if you want to give it away.

An Minning felt a sense of crisis, and she couldn't wait to get her family back and get rid of her status as a slave.

I thought that I could redeem myself at a certain age, but I didn't consider the accidents involved. For example, her work this time made her a favorite in everyone's eyes. Fortunately, she was short and did not grow up. She is like a child, no one regards her as an opponent, otherwise she will not know if she will disappear next time.

After the master left, An Minning was transferred back to the east courtyard and was still in charge of the original work. The whole village returned to its former peace.

Only An Minning knew what was different.

She focused her eyes on the direction of the capital, and for the first time had the desire to break free from this cage and control her own destiny.
