Chapter 6 Witnesses to History

The 16th year of Chenghua, generally speaking, is 1480 AD, and more commonly, it is the No. 16 year of Ming Xianzong's reign.

Who is Ming Xianzong?The emperor who became famous in history because he doted on Concubine Wan Gui who was 17 years older than him.

".The old Taoist priest said that my fate was bad, and that the house would be safe only if my hands were covered with blood. So my mother didn't like my old Taoist priest and said that the second sister was the fate of the imperial concubine. In the end, my mother chased me away, saying that he opened his eyes. tell nonsense"

Cheng You was still chattering on and on, but Cheng Xia didn't have time to listen, so she immediately asked, "How old is You Er?"

Cheng You's age was about five or six years old, but she wanted to make sure how old Chenghua was now.

Cheng You glanced at Cheng Xia suspiciously, "Second Sister, you love me the most, why don't you even remember how old I am, I'm seven years old."

seven years old?So thin and weak, he is seven years old. It seems that this younger brother is also hungry at home.

Cheng You is seven years old, so isn't it 23 years of Chenghua now?

Chenghua 23 years?1487 AD!
Oh my god, Cheng Xia suddenly wanted to cry up to the sky, now it's the end of March, and on the ninth day of September this year, Ming Xianzong will die, my god, did God send her to witness this historical moment?

She had already promised the Yang family to give them 50 taels of silver within three months, and it was only July when she paid off the money. She left the village and headed towards the capital. No matter how she went, two months would be enough time. I want to go to Beijing with my own eyes to see the death of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, and to prove that Emperor Xiaozong ascended the throne.

Ahhhh, God treats her kindly.If the mentor knew that she had such an adventure, he would be so jealous that he would go crazy.

"Second sister, what's wrong with you, second sister?" Cheng You couldn't help but blush as he looked at the passing uncle and aunt looking at second sister like a fool.

"Oh, it's okay." Cheng Xia restrained himself a little, thought about something and stopped talking, and walked directly towards the east of the village.

There were very few families living in the east of the village, and Cheng You took her directly to the penultimate house.There was a tall and fat woman standing at the gate of the fenced courtyard. Seeing Cheng Xia coming over, she hurriedly twisted her fat body and walked over tremblingly. Every step she took, her fat body would shake twice.

"Little sister," Dahua said while holding Cheng Xia's hand like a cannonball, "Eldest sister and brother-in-law came here before dawn, just waiting to get you back from the Yang family. What happened to the Yang family last night We have also heard that when Mother heard that you were going to pay the Yang family 50 taels of silver, she sat on the ground and started howling. Today, I see the posture of the eldest sister, and I still want to get you back from the Yang family and marry again."

Da Hua looked around with her small eyes sneakily as she spoke, and when she saw no one saw her, she leaned into Cheng Xia's ear and whispered, "I just overheard my mother talking to my eldest sister and brother-in-law. The family of the second idiot in the village has ten taels of silver, and they will definitely let you marry. This money has entered the pocket of the mother, and it is impossible to get it out again."

Cheng Xia looked at the pimples and chilblains on the face of the person who was speaking in front of him, his face was covered with layers of fat, and his neck was covered so that he could not see it. She leaned close to his ear and exhaled. The turbid smell made people want to faint.But what she said was beneficial to her, Cheng Xia was not sure whether this person was good or bad for a moment.

"Sister-in-law," Cheng Xia heard the younger brother speak without hesitation, "Mother still wants the second sister to marry a fool?"

It turned out to be the eldest brother Cheng Zuo's daughter-in-law.

Dahua shook her head, "I don't know either," she said, looking up at Cheng Xia, "If Mother beats and scolds you later, run away, don't listen to Mother's orders and leave the Yang family, or you will marry twice If you don't, your reputation will be ruined, little sister."

Cheng Xia heard this sister-in-law's words were all for her own good, and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart. She really couldn't be judged by appearances, so she smiled gently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know how to do it."

In the house, Cheng Shang saw three people talking outside the fenced courtyard, and chuckled lightly at Mrs. Zhang who was holding the soles of her shoes, "Mother, my little sister has arrived at the door, and I don't know what you are talking to Da Hua about."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she angrily put down the soles of her shoes and went out, yelling at Cheng Xia, "What are you doing standing at the door if you don't come in when the damn girl arrives at the door, making people laugh at her? Why don't you let me get out of here. "

Cheng Xia looked up at her mother pinching her waist and cursing, and felt that it might not be easy to deal with, so she whispered something to Cheng You before pushing the door and walking in.

"Mother," Cheng Xia followed Dahua into the fenced yard, only yelled and stopped talking. Before finding out what her mother's temper is, it's better to stay still.

However, according to the reminder in the dream, her mother cared for her eldest daughter extra, and her little daughter was simply a dispensable existence.That being the case, Cheng Xia has nothing to worry about, anyway, she is not her daughter in the first place, so no one is afraid of anyone.

It's best for everyone to be polite and take care of each other. If her mother is too much, then she is not easy to mess with.
