Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 93 The past is shocking, and he sacrifices himself to save him (3)
Qiu Mingyue moved her lips, "Grandma's words are serious, but Mingyue dare not."

The old matriarch seemed tired, "What happened back then..." She paused, her eyes were far away, as if immersed in memories.

In the spring of that year, hundreds of flowers spit out stamens and green willows sprouted new buds. It was the season of warm spring and flowers blooming.However, a flame was burning above the imperial capital of the capital.The sound of fighting was endless, and many old and weak women and children in Kyoto fled the capital with their children.

"At that time your grandfather was in the imperial palace, your father and your two uncles were also imprisoned in the imperial city and could not come out. I took your aunt and fled the capital... but I caught a cold on the way and couldn't afford it... At that time, money It was empty, unable to see a doctor, so I slept in a ruined temple..."

The night was heavy, and in a dilapidated temple in the northwest corner of Yangzhou, the low sobbing of a woman could be heard from time to time.

"Mother, wake up quickly, don't scare me." The woman was wearing a peach blossom cloud blouse and a floral green gauze dewy lily skirt.The fabric is delicate and expensive, and it seems that only rich people can afford to wear it.Just because it hasn't been washed for many days, it looks a little shabby and messy.The woman is only eleven or twelve years old, and her small face is still immature, a little pale, as if caused by malnutrition.There is only a wooden hairpin inserted obliquely on the head, and the hair is a little messy, looking in a mess.

The woman lying on the straw mat was wearing a floral green gauze dewy lily dress, her eyes were closed tightly, her hair was messy, and her pretty face was flushed abnormally due to the fever.

The girl kept shaking her arm, tears streaming down her face, her heart full of panic and anxiety.

"Mother, don't leave Ling'er alone, Ling'er is afraid, woo woo woo..."

"Miss." A woman in shabby clothes hurried in, holding a bowl in her hand, with a look of surprise on her face.

"My maidservant just went to the mountain to gather some herbs, please give it to Madam."

The girl was a little hesitant, "Mum, will it be alright if you drink it?"

The woman sighed, "Ma'am has had a high fever for three days, and the money on us has been stolen by those gangsters looking for money." When she said this, she looked aggrieved. Rigorous, I didn't expect that when encountering difficulties, those low-sighted bastards all showed their fox tails, and black-heartedly took away all the money they brought.There was another heavy rain two days ago, and my wife had a high fever, so I had no money to see a doctor or take medicine.Now the situation in Kyoto is strict, and the master and several young masters are all serving in the imperial court.All the maidservants who accompanied Madam and Miss to escape all the way were dead and scattered, and now only she and Madam's personal maid, Fu Rong, were left.

After the rain finally stopped in the afternoon, she went to the mountain with Fu Rong to gather some herbs, hoping that the medicine would make Madam better.

"Miss, we are penniless now. Furong knows some medicine. At least this medicine is non-toxic and harmless to Madam's body. Madam, Madam has been in a coma for a few days. If I don't take the medicine again, maybe..." She Speaking of this, the circles of my eyes are red, and I am about to cry.

Qiu Zhongling is only 12 years old, a young girl who is not familiar with the world. She has never been out of the house since she was a child, and she does not know the warmth and coldness of people.The recent disasters have caused her to lose her mind, and her mother is seriously ill, so she can't find her focus at all.Not knowing what to do at this moment, he bit his lip and nodded.

"Okay, Nanny Han, quickly feed your mother the medicine."

"Hey." Nanny Han hurried over with the medicine, and together with Man Rou, waited for Qiu Jia to drink the medicine.

In the evening, an exquisite carriage stopped in front of the ruined temple.A woman's voice could be heard outside.

"Hey! Ma'am, miss, it's raining, and there are still people living in this temple?"

Qiu Zhongling has been working so hard these days, and it can be said that her days are like years. She was fine some time ago, and she could only fall asleep at night with her mother comforting her.Since her mother fell ill, she has had very little sleep at night.Hearing voices outside at this moment, his eyes lit up, and he felt that the voice was like the sound of nature, so he hurriedly sat up.

"Mommy, hurry up, someone is coming."

Nanny Han and Man Rou also heard voices outside and Qiu Zhongling's shout, and got up immediately.

"Madam is saved, I only hope that we will meet a nobleman."

After she finished speaking, she stood up in a hurry, and before she could go out, she saw a beautiful and elegant woman walking in with a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, accompanied by the girl holding an umbrella.The woman was wearing a smoky green rose-patterned dress, a gold silk and white pattern epiphyllum rain silk brocade skirt, plain silver earrings hanging from her earlobes, and a silver-plated gold-plated jade crab hairpin with inlaid treasures inserted obliquely on her head.The face is beautiful and gentle, and the whole body shows everyone's demeanor.The little girl beside her was wearing a peony thin hookah skirt that stretched across the floor, with a girlish bun, and her eyebrows and eyes were a little more delicate than that woman's.Looking at Qiu Zhongling's dirty little face, she couldn't help feeling sympathetic, she let go of the woman's hand, and walked over.

"Sister, why are you sleeping here? The dew is heavy at night, and you'll catch a cold." Seeing Qiu Jiashi sleeping beside her, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Is this lady your mother? Is she ill?"

Qiu Zhongling was stunned when she saw this beautiful little girl, and seeing her concern for her words made her feel warmer.Hearing the other party talk about his mother, he couldn't help but feel his nose sore, and he was about to shed tears.

"I... my mother has a fever, and I don't have the money to get her medicine..." She was about to shed tears as she spoke, her face full of grievance and sadness.

The girl felt a little sympathetic when she saw it. At this moment, she saw Nanny Han and Manrou kneeling down in front of the noble woman.

"Madam, please show kindness and save our wife. My family was in trouble, and my servants neglected righteousness and stole the family property. Now my wife is seriously ill, and even..." After she finished speaking, she couldn't make a sound and hated her. Angry and anxious.

The beautiful woman felt sympathy when she saw this scene, but she rashly brought the stranger home...

She was hesitating when she saw her daughter coming over, pulling her sleeves and begging, "Mother, please help them. Daddy always said that helping others is the foundation of happiness. You see how pitiful they are, so let's take them back home." Let's go home. I think that aunt just had a fever, and if she doesn't get treatment, her life will be in danger. Mother, you are the kindest, Rou'er, please help them, mother..."

The woman was already soft-hearted, but seeing her daughter's face begging, she reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, okay, mother promised you." She stroked the girl's head with a loving expression on her face.

The girl's eyes lit up, "Thank you, mother."

Nanny Han and Man Rou didn't expect this beautiful woman to be so talkative. They had stayed in the capital for a long time and had never seen anyone.Most people in the world follow the trend and take refuge in glory.Now that they are in such a catastrophe, others may not be able to hide if they see them.Unexpectedly, this woman would take them in, which surprised them and made them even more grateful to the girl.
