Chapter 498 Xiao Mo Extra
Once when I was on an inspection trip to Qinchuan County, the local county captain tried hard to persuade me to go to the home of a scholar to watch his daughter dance the Hu Xuan Dance. I knew that they were trying to find a way to offer beautiful women to me.
There was nothing going on, and there really wasn't much entertainment in this county, so I went there.
The dancer was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. She had lively eyebrows. She was indeed a rare beauty. I was a little moved.
When I asked her if she would like to come with me, the child refused outright, showing her cheerful temper.
I laughed and didn't care. After all, I don't lack women, let alone beauties.
Unexpectedly, when I returned to Fucheng, the girl appeared in my house again.
Of course I know what's going on. It's just that the people below brought her here, and her parents must be willing.
But I don't care, because it happens too often, and all the concubines in my backyard come here this way.
After that, whenever I entertained the soldiers at a banquet, there was another little dancer at my banquet. She was not the best dancer, nor the most beautiful, but she was the most agile among them all.
My subordinate saw my love for her and wanted her to sleep with her. So one night, the girl was dressed up beautifully and walked into my dormitory.
I leaned on the bed, looked at the pretty figure, and asked her to come over.
The girl walked ten feet away from my bed and asked me seriously: "If I sleep with you, can you let me go?"
I laughed. This was the first time someone made such a request to me. Such a young girl was so ignorant and fearless.
"No." I said with a smile, "You are a gift from your parents to me. Unless your parents ask for it from me, you can only stay in the house."
The girl suddenly dropped her face and said, "My father said that I am a dancer in your house, specializing in dancing. If you can't let me go, why should I sleep with you?" After that, she turned and left.
I fell silent, and when I heard someone stopping her outside, I loudly asked them to let her go.
There are a lot of concubines in the house, most of whom I have never touched. As long as I wave, a group of concubines will immediately surround me. So for this girl, I admire her courage but also feel a little annoyed.
So I regarded her as a dancer, and every time I had a banquet, I would call her to add to the fun.
Many soldiers fell in love with her and wanted to take advantage of her. As a result, she picked up a plate of food and poured it on his head. She loudly accused me, saying that I didn't keep my word and bullied her as a child.
Everyone at the banquet was looking at me. What could I do? I had to appease the soldier whose head was full of vegetable soup and let Chen Ying go out and stand there holding the plate for five hours.
Five hours later, it was already dawn. When I got up, I saw the girl in red standing upright under the tree.
She was cunning. Although she was standing, she fell asleep with her back against the big tree.
Looking at the plate on her head, she tied a ribbon around her head.
I was so funny that I walked over and poked her in the head.
The girl woke up excitedly and saw that I didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she asked, "Is the fifth hour up?"
I ignored her and walked away.
I have been very busy recently, and there are frequent bandits in the countryside. Some of them have five to eight hundred people. If they are not suppressed, they will become a serious problem.
When I came back two months later, I rewarded the soldiers again.
This time I asked the girl to dance, and no soldiers dared to provoke her.
There was still some verbal banter, but the girl didn't care.
Fast forward a year, the girl has grown a little longer and is more beautiful.
Whenever she walked past the soldiers, she would attract everyone's attention.
Of course, I was also moved.
Everyone has a love for beauty, so I summoned her again.
She stood in front of my bed and asked the same sentence: "I'll sleep with you, can you let me go? My adoptive parents are suffering in the countryside, and I want to visit them."
I took her in my arms, kissed her, and held her in my arms, "Since you sleep with me, how can I let you go? How about I let someone check on your adoptive parents and give them some money?" .”
The girl nodded, then shook her head quickly, rejecting me, "Then let's wait until my adoptive parents are involved. I...I can't sleep with you now."
She pushed me away with great force, then turned and ran away.
I closed my eyes and gasped for a long time before calming down my anger.
At this moment, I really wanted to ignore her and bring her into the room, but my reason told me that I couldn't use force.
This child has a stubborn temper. Judging from my investigation of her family, she is a little firecracker who is not afraid of anything.
If I make her anxious, she can do anything and even embarrass me in front of all the soldiers.
Of course, it's not that I'm afraid of her. In the final analysis, it's just that I like her a little, so I indulged her again.
After that, I asked people to check on her adoptive father and mother, and I got the news that her adoptive father and mother had died of the epidemic a few years ago, leaving only two adoptive brothers, one stupid and the other sick.
I told her the news, and the girl cried uncontrollably. Suddenly she knelt down and asked me to let her go, saying she wanted to go back and take care of her two younger brothers.
As he spoke, he untied his clothes, threw himself into my arms, and said he was going to help me go to bed.
I lowered my face, pushed her away, stood up and walked away.
After that, I left her alone for more than half a year and never summoned her, but I ordered my subordinates to keep a close eye on her to prevent her from doing anything extraordinary.
The girl was very depressed for a period of time. She entrusted a soldier to send the silver and copper coins she had saved to her brother, and entrusted a servant to pawn her clothes.
The servant didn't dare. He just refused to take over.
I was a little angry after knowing this. She didn't come to beg me, but entrusted it to my men.
I simply don't care about her and let her do whatever she wants.
Once, a young military general suddenly asked me to marry Chen Ying, which made me a little annoyed, because this military general was the one who helped her carry things to her brother.
Of course I can't agree and just give this military commander a dancing girl.
This dancer also performs Hu Xuan dance, and she often gets into trouble with Chen Ying.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Chen Changping brought his second daughter to me.
Looking at the face that looked exactly like Chen Ying, I accepted her.
But even though the face looks similar, the person is not the same person. When I vented my anger, I thought badly about whether Chen Ying would be offended.
I also gave Chen Changping's second daughter gold, silver, jewelry and silk in a big way, hoping to arouse the girl's jealousy.
But no, she acted like nothing happened and rejected my advances again.
I was very angry, so I asked her to dance during the banquet, and she was not allowed to stop until I told her to stop.
She danced continuously for an hour and finally collapsed.
I was panicking at this moment, but someone rushed in front of me, picked her up and ran outside the hall to call the doctor.
In the end, the doctor diagnosed that she had injured her ankle, and I had her dance for more than an hour.
I am annoyed and distressed, and I am so busy being served by others.
I went to see her in the evening, held her hand and promised her that as long as she was obedient and she recovered from her injury, I would take her as my concubine.
She was not very happy, she just asked me: "If I become a concubine, can I go out freely?"
I remained silent, got up and left.
She did it on purpose, to make me angry on purpose.
Later, her legs and feet healed, and she became much quieter. She no longer climbed over walls and climbed trees from time to time.
I happen to be very busy right now and don't have much time to see her.
Once, I saw her chatting with several young generals in the outer courtyard. This made me wary, so I moved my office outside and asked two women to guard the gates of the inner and outer courtyards to prevent anyone from entering or exiting at will.
But the mother-in-law blocked the general, but could not stop Sanlang and Wei Jiaqilang.
One day, they broke into Chen Ying's yard and watched her take a bath.
Then he ran up to me and asked me for Chen Ying.
I was furious and immediately ordered my servant to give Sanlang ten lashes.
The stepmother was so distressed that she cried and fussed, and finally ran back to her parents' home with Saburo.
I'm unmoved.
Since my father's death, I have always been friendly to my brothers, respected my stepmother, and have never treated them harshly. However, Saburo is too dandy and often harasses the inner court. This time, he actually coveted the girl I love. This cannot be tolerated.
One day, Chen Zhao came to me and told me that her third sister climbed over the wall and ran away.
I was shocked, and quickly led people to chase him out of the house, and notified all the city gates to close immediately.
I sent more than a thousand soldiers to search for her in the city, and finally caught her in a clothing store.
When I took the bag off her, I saw that it was filled with all the gold, silver, jewels and jewelry I had given her.
"Why did you run away?" I asked through gritted teeth.
She opened her eyes wide and told lies: "I didn't run away, I just came out to buy some food. Your food tastes terrible."
I laughed angrily and poked at the bag: "What is this?"
She blinked and said, "I don't have any money in my hand, I want to change it to some money to spend."
I knew in my heart that what she said was true. All the money in her hand was given to the soldiers to take to her brother. What she had in her hand were all jewelry and the like given by me.
As for whether her brother received it or not, I don't care.
Handing the bundle to the adjutant, I dragged her away: "In that case, I'll pay for whatever you want to eat."
She followed me obediently and wanted to buy the candied haws when she saw it.
I bought a few, and she ate them all the way back to the house, and even stuffed one into my mouth.
At this moment, the anger in my chest was extinguished, and there was no trace left.
At night, I stayed in her courtyard and took her by force.
She was very angry and scratched and bit me, but I was happy with it.
I think that when I come back from running errands this time, I will give her the title of side room.
In autumn, bandits are causing trouble in various places again, and foreign countries are also ready to invade our borders.
I was ordered to go to the front line to help, so I told the government to take good care of my family and take good care of Chen Ying.
Before leaving, I kissed her forehead and said, "Wait for me at home. If you feel any discomfort, ask the doctor to check your pulse. If you want anything, just ask the steward and he will take care of it."
In fact, I hope she will be pregnant now and give birth to a son and a half daughter for me. In that case, she will be enough for me in this life.
But I didn't dare to give her any money. I had put the jewelry in my warehouse and would naturally return it to her when I came back.
Because I can't guarantee that she will run away again if she has money.
During the few months at the border, I thought about her every day. If I saw anything interesting, I would buy it and bring it to her when I went back to make her happy.
Thinking of her irritated and angry expressions made me feel unbearable.
On this day, I suddenly received a letter from the housekeeper saying that Chen Ying had escaped.
My heart felt like a basin of cold water had been poured on it for three to nine days, and it was so cold that it penetrated to my bones.
After the war finally ended, I hurried back to the house.
Sure enough, she was gone. She opened the pillow and saw a letter.
In the letter, she asked me not to look for her, and also told me that she only took her own clothes and nothing else.
At the end, I would like to add that she had the chance to escape thanks to Chen Zhao's help.
I know what the latter sentence means. She wants to attribute her escape to Chen Zhao.
As she wished, I beat Chen Zhao fifty times and drove her out of the house.
As for Chu Yan, who helped her escape, I can't touch him yet.
But he had to give me an explanation.
Chu Yan knelt in front of me and told me that Chen Ying was originally from his hometown. He felt pity for her because she cared about her brother so much that he sent her out of the city because he also had a sister who was killed by bandits.
I was silent for a long time and asked him to go out and receive fifty lashes.
After that, I sent people to search everywhere, but there was no trace of her. Finally, I asked people to guard near Jiangjia Village. If she didn't die, she would eventually go there to find her brother.
More than half a year later, I finally got news from her.
It turned out that she traveled all the way back to Qinchuan County disguised as a beggar, and started a small business in Qinchuan County. After saving a lot of money, she went to look for her brother.
Seeing how miserable her brothers were, she took them to live in the county town.
Only then did she realize that in addition to paying for her brother's medical treatment, part of the money she had sent her had been collected by her cousin-in-law.
After Chen Ying took her brothers to the county town, she went out to do business alone, often wandering among local gangsters. I asked a local gang leader to take good care of her and not allow anyone to touch her, otherwise they would be severely punished.
The gang leader agreed to ask his subordinates to be polite to her.
I was angry and didn't want to care about her anymore, but she was the one that haunted me so much that I couldn't let her go, so I could only hang her out and let her live a free life for a few days.
It just so happened that the court was unstable at this time, and many people were ready to take action, so I had no time to take care of my children's personal affairs.
I thought, once the court is settled and she has gone crazy enough, I can just bring her three siblings back.
Unexpectedly, during the rectification of the court, someone impeached Chen Changping for corruption and accepting bribes.
It was not me who investigated and handled the matter, and I had no intention of excusing him, so Chen Changping was dismissed from his post and investigated.
I don't take it seriously because my girl doesn't like her parents and doesn't depend on them for her life.
A year later, I suddenly received a message that Chen Ying had hanged himself.
I was shocked and angry, and my hand holding the letter trembled.
How could my girl hang herself? She was so full of life, even if she ran back to her hometown despite all the hardships, what reason would there be to hang herself?
I immediately sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that she was killed by her biological parents.
"Find them! Bring them back! I will deal with them myself." I sent people to search for the whereabouts of Chen Changping's family, and they found King Cheng.
It happened that I received the news that King Cheng was planning to rebel, so I went all out to destroy him.
When I brought that family back, I interrogated them one by one, starting with their servants.
A servant told the whole story, including who discovered her first.
The servant said: "The eldest lady came to the county town to sell fish. She accidentally saw the third lady, so she followed her. When she found her residence, she told the husband and his wife, and then took them to the small courtyard. The lady ordered The slave beat the third lady’s brother, and then the lady strangled the third lady to death. The slave didn’t dare to kill anyone, the lady did it herself. The eldest lady stood outside the fence and watched, but she didn’t stop him.”
I waved people to take them down, and then asked people to bring the Chen family over.
I looked at the frail woman below and wondered how she could strangle a strong, living person.
So I told her that if she strangled her eldest daughter to death with my own hands, I would spare her life.
The woman agreed without thinking and put a belt around her eldest daughter's neck with her own hands.
I just looked at it, feeling very bored.
In fact, since my girl died, I have no interest in anything.
Even though someone later advised me to have more children, kill the little emperor, and ascend the throne myself, I still found it boring.
There are many women in my backyard, but none of them can enter my heart.
That girl is gone.
I found many similar to her, but they still couldn't drive away the sadness in my heart.
Every time I think of it, it breaks my heart.
