History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Mother Wu was a little surprised when she heard the news. She obviously didn't expect Cuihua's family to find her. No, it should be that Cuihua found her family.

"Invite people in, and by the way, invite Steward Lin." Madam Wu said to Cuiyu beside her.

Cuiyu had a complex expression on her face. Like Cuibi, she was bought into the palace, and she didn't know where her home was for a long time. In addition, when she entered the palace, she was young and didn't understand anything, and she had been wandering at the bottom all those years.

Madam Wu was originally a person close to Empress Xiao Yiren. Back then, the fourth elder brother was in charge of his adoptive mother's food. After Empress Xiao Yiren passed away, she followed the fourth elder brother to Ganxi No. [-] Institute.

The fourth elder brother wanted to buy a property and wanted to pick a loyal person to go there, so Madam Wu volunteered and expressed her willingness to help the fourth elder brother solve problems.

Nanny Wu still has some affection in front of the fourth elder brother, but after the fourth elder brother returned to the concubine De, the people who used to serve him have been transferred away for various reasons over the years, and now they are all arranged by the concubine De Therefore, the only survivor, Nanny Wu, was inevitably squeezed out, and she couldn't get her hands on everywhere in Ganxi No. [-], and her life was depressed and hopeless.

As soon as she heard that the fourth elder brother wanted to buy property, she simply proposed to leave the palace and help the fourth elder brother take care of it.

Cuibi and Cuiyu were originally underage, and should not have left the palace with them, but they both had unsatisfactory lives in the palace like Nanny Wu, so they discussed going out of the palace together to serve Nanny Wu, so as not to be bullied by the maids and eunuchs above.That year the four concubines were in charge of the palace affairs together, the palace opened the palace maids, the concubine de concubine hooked her finger, and the two of them followed.

After all, the fourth elder brother is also the biological son of Concubine De, even if the two become estranged again, if the fourth elder brother asks, Concubine De will not help her son complete the description.

The two of them said they were maidservants, but in fact they belonged to the fourth elder brother's maidservants. They were not under the fourth elder brother's name, and they couldn't leave the palace at such a young age. It's just that the fourth elder brother hadn't opened the mansion and couldn't be settled, so they were put on the Zhuangzi to serve first. Nanny Wu.

Cuiyu has always dreamed that the fourth elder brother opened a mansion, and she can follow her into the mansion. She firmly believes that it is impossible for her to waste her life in a village.

She is not like that fool Cuibi, she looks shrewd, but her head is full of muddleheadedness, and she looks at things pessimistically, thinking that she will face mud legs all day long, and she will marry mud legs in the future, so she frightens herself to the point of confusion. That's why he made a wrong step to seduce the master.

He was not directly slaughtered as an assassin, he was already the master Rende.

Cuiyu hummed, then walked out the door.

And that follower who has been following Cuibi all the time, she didn't expect to be so lucky, she didn't think about dealing with her, she found her family unexpectedly, and was willing to come to redeem her non-stop.

Cuiyu is not feeling well, she is definitely not jealous, definitely not jealous why she doesn't have such a family?

Min Ning and Father An were brought into Madam Wu's yard together. After entering the house, Min Ning was suddenly taken aback when he saw the extra people in the house.

Why did Steward Lin come here?

Father An glanced at the room, then fixed his eyes on Madam Wu above, and he bowed politely first.

Guan Lin returned beforehand, and Nanny Wu followed suit, and then said to Minning, "Cuihua, show your father the seat first."

Minning helped An's father to sit down on a chair, and she stood behind An's father.

Cuiyu brought Father An a cup of tea, Father An thanked her, then raised her head and said to Nanny Wu, "Mammy, I am Minning's Ama, and I am here this time to redeem Minning's body."

"Redemption? Cuihua, what happened? I remember when you were sent here, but you said you couldn't find your relatives?" Mother Wu asked Xiang Minning.

Minning stood up and explained in a low voice to Madam Wu, "Mama, it's like this. I only found out that I was born in the capital some time ago, but I was abducted to the south of the Yangtze River when I was a child. This time, I came to the capital again by accident. , I found that the Beijing dialect was kind to me, so I tried to recall it, and finally remembered the name of the temple in my alley when I was a child. For the past six months, I went to Kyoto every month to find out where the temple was, and I found out about it yesterday. Today I took leave just to look for it, but I had no hope at first, and I didn’t expect my family to still be there.”

Nanny Wu nodded, and it was only when she knew that Cuihua had been looking for her family members, but she did not expect to find them.

"This is also a great joy."

"But..." She stretched out her voice and pondered.

Father An's and Minning's hearts were suspended.

Grandma Wu looked at the two of them, wondering, "This matter is a bit difficult to handle. Cuihua was sent here as a human being, and the deed of prostitution did not come with her..."

Father An suddenly stood up, and said righteously, "Then what should I do? My daughter is a bannerman, and she will participate in the draft in the future, because she was kidnapped when she was a child, and now her status has become lowly. I will no matter what. Her identity was changed back."

Mama Wu's face immediately became serious, she really didn't expect Cuihua to have such an identity.If she was just a bannerman, of course she wouldn't care.But the matter is involved in the draft, so people have to pay attention to it.

According to the regulations of the imperial court: Banner Banner women must participate in the draft, and only after they fail the draft can they marry freely.

Although she doesn't think that Minning will have any great fortune in the future, after all, she has the identity of a future show girl, and she is not comparable to ordinary slaves.It would be terrible if someone charged him with the crime of forcing a beautiful girl to not redeem her body. It would be easy to implicate the fourth elder brother, and even be used to attack the fourth elder brother!

The loss outweighs the gain because of a small loss!

People will naturally be released, but there must be a charter for how to release people.

Nanny Wu turned her head and asked Steward Lin, "When the master sent the man over, did you leave an explanation?" What she meant was to ask Steward Lin if Minning had another identity?For example, implying that this person will take over the house in the future.

Steward Lin thought about it seriously, then shook his head, and said, "At that time, Eunuch Su sent someone here. Later, I asked, and he said that the elder brother gave it to you and our master. The person was placed on our Zhuangzi, and he said that it would be fine to give him a bowl of rice. For such a long time, the master has never seen the master ask about it, so he must have forgotten him a long time ago."

As soon as Mother Wu heard it, she knew what it meant. If she didn't know this person, she could deal with it casually.

Father An was watching eagerly, and Min Ning half-understood, she vaguely knew that it had something to do with her.

"You can redeem yourselves, but the deed of sale is with our master, and the deed of sale can only be returned to you after we have reported it."

Nanny Wu discussed with Steward Lin in a low voice, and then announced to Minning and his daughter.

Father An was overjoyed and anxious, he hurriedly asked, "May I also ask which house your master is from, and I won't bother you, I will come to ask for it myself."

Mother Wu was taken aback, and waved her hands hastily, "The master is not in the capital now, so you don't have to do wasted work. In this way, you can take Cuihua home today and leave an address. When the master comes back, I will ask him for favors. Send someone to notify you to come and get the deed of sale." She didn't mention the money for the redemption, obviously she didn't care about the money.

And Minning didn't mention it either, knowing that the matter of redemption can only be discussed after getting back the deed of sale.

Father An couldn't, but it was a happy event to bring his daughter back, but he was still a little unwilling, "Then when will your master return to Beijing?"

Nanny Wu said perfunctorily, "Anyway, I'll be back before the Chinese New Year." She wanted to send him away as soon as possible, so as not to go to see the fourth elder brother in a whimsical way, not to mention that the master is not in the capital right now, but if he is, can he still let him go to the imperial city? door, just to ask for a maid's contract of prostitution?

As a slave, naturally he couldn't disturb his master with these trivial matters.

"Cuihua, go back to your own room and tidy up, just go with your Ama. When the time comes to get the deed of sale from the master, I will let you guys be notified, mammy."

Nanny Wu simply told Minning directly, so that Father An would not say anything surprising again.

Minning stepped forward and squatted gratefully, "Yes, mother."

Father An still wanted to say something, Minning hurriedly helped him out.

When they left, Nanny Wu and Steward Lin looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally left.

Father An was supported by Minning to go out, and soon straightened his back, pushed Minning's hand away, saw that his daughter was still a little silly, he smiled happily, "Silly daughter, do you think I am different from before?"

Minning stared wide-eyed, is it more than different?If she was so shrewd just now, Nanny Wu would not have sent them away impatiently.

Father An looked around and saw that there was no one there, so he whispered to his goddaughter, "If I wasn't so messing around, how could people send us away so easily?"

Who doesn't know that Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan can't keep his identity without a certain identity, let alone occupying such a large area, he also knows that it is whimsical to want to meet his master, but it doesn't prevent him from pulling a big banner as a tiger's skin. He underestimated him, and at the same time underestimated Min Ning, completely treating her as dispensable, otherwise he would not have let him take her away before getting back the deed of sale.

You can tell at a glance that you don't want to have anything to do with his family!

Minning is embarrassing, but she, Ama, also knows that she has messed around just now!

Seeing Father An's complacency, Minning smiled. Sure enough, the wisdom of ordinary people cannot be underestimated. Even Ama knows how to show the enemy the weak first. She really thought that he would behave first and then fight as her brother said.

Minning didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He took his father to her room. Seeing the soap that was still ventilating in the room, An's father was dumbfounded, "Minning, what are you doing in this room?"

Minning took out a square cloth and told Father An to put all the soap on the cloth, while she went under the bed board to dig out the private money she had hidden.

Father An was busy building up the soap piece by piece on the cloth. Minning got out from under the bed holding a jar full of mud. After she lifted the lid of the jar, he couldn't believe it, "Where did you save it?" So much money?" The jar is full of copper coins, which looks quite heavy!

Minning pointed at the soap with his chin, "Hey, I made money from selling that thing!"

Upon hearing this, Father An understood the value of the soap, and hurriedly wrapped the soap carefully like a baby.

Minning tied a consistent copper coin around his waist, and then covered it with clothes. Father An picked up a few clothes and stuffed them into the package, and then hugged the package in his arms.

In this way, the father and daughter, one carrying a big package and the other hunched over, walked slowly outside the village.

After getting into the carriage, the carriage ran away, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.

And at this moment, Minning patted her forehead angrily, "Oh no, I forgot to leave my home address." She stuck her head out of the car again. shadow.

Father An looked at his daughter and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have left the door sticker for the concierge."
